Googler petition asks Sundar Pichai to end Al project involving military drones

Last month, a report revealed that Google was partnering with the Department of Defense on machine learning to analyze drone footage.  
  
This project caused an uproar within the company, with Googlers circulating a letter asking Sundar Pichai to drop the project and ban future "warfare technology."  
  
Employees fear this "military use" of technology, and Google commented back in March that there are "valid concerns" and that they are working to "develop policies and safeguards around the development and use of our machine learning technologies."  
  
This petition asks for the CEO to cancel Project Maven and create a "clear policy stating that neither Google nor its contractors will ever build warfare technology."  
  
Google Cloud head Diane Green responded to employee critiques at the time by specifying that Project Maven would not be used to "operate or fly drones" and will "will not be used to launch weapons."
