Last month we reported that over a dozen Google employees had resigned to protest the company’s contract with the US Department of Defense helping the military with artificial intelligence. It now appears that Google has decided not to renew its contract with the Pentagon.

“Google will not seek another contract for its controversial work providing artificial intelligence to the US Department of Defense for analyzing drone footage after its current contract expires,” Gizmodo reports. The publication cited three sources who suggest that the update came from Google Cloud CEO Diane Greene who announced the decision at a meeting with employees this morning.
