https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-ceo-defends-army-contract-augmented-reality/ > Tech workers are increasingly uneasy about their employers’ work with the US government, especially the military. Some protests have led to real change: Google last year decided not to renew a contract with the Pentagon to apply artificial intelligence to drone footage, after 4,000 employees signed a petition protesting the arrangement. > Last week, a group of Microsoft workers published a petition asking executives to terminate a contract to develop augmented reality technology for the US military. "We did not sign-up to develop weapons, and we demand a say in how our work is used," the petition, which was published on Twitter, says.
