Google employees react to AI weapons policy shift: “Are we the baddies?”
Google dropped its 2018 pledge against using AI for weapons or surveillance, citing national security.
Some employees reacted with frustration, posting memes and criticism on Memegen, Google’s internal forum.
A top-voted meme showed CEO Sundar Pichai searching: “How to become a weapons contractor?”
Another featured a Nazi soldier asking, “Are we the baddies?” in response to Google’s AI weapons shift.
A Big Bang Theory meme joked: “Oh, that’s why,” referencing Google’s defense ties.
Despite the backlash, only a small group of employees protested, while others supported Google’s closer work with the U.S. government.
