The decision to drop out of the bidding comes after thousands of Google employees protested the company's involvement in another US government project. Some Google employees reportedly quit over the company's work on Project Maven, a drone initiative for the US government that could weaponize their AI research.

Shortly after the protest over Maven, Google said it would not renew the contract or pursue similar military contracts. Google CEO Sundar Pichai also released a set of ethical guidelines for Google to follow as it continues to develop artificial intelligence. Among the guidelines: Google won't create AI for weapons, but it will still work with the military.
