some Google employees have quit in protest over project maven project maven is a military drone program and these Google employees feel that it runs counter to Google's unofficial motto don't be evil back in April about a thousand Google employees voiced their opposition to the company's involvement in a drone warfare program initiated by the Pentagon this week almost a dozen Google employees quit their jobs in protest to what has become known as Project maven although the exact number of employees who quit is not known gives motor reports that the quote mass exodus is about a dozen employees in direct result of Google's involvement with Project maven a military pilot program which aims to use AI and machine learning to analyze objects in drone footage the employees in question believe that the company's involvement in a government warfare program violates the ethical nature of Google's motto which is don't be evil and also feel that Google's refusal to adequately address employee concerns represents a drastic working environment change the only course of action left according to the employees was to quit now before things get too hot and political let's just go a little bit deeper although the exact nature of project maven is under wraps it appears that the military program could theoretically be used to give drones the ability to analyze objects before an attack for example an algorithm would help a military drone analyze footage of an enemy base of operations and determine whether it was a legitimate target or not now depending on what's really important to you you could see that in very different ways you could say this is a great thing right because this ensures that we reduce collateral damage it reduces the chance that we're going to hurt innocent people and that's a good thing or you could say no that's dangerous and horrible because you're further removing human decision-making and human lives from that potential conflict resulting that the battle from your side looks more like a video game because you're not actually risking American lives you're just risking the other side's lives or you could say no that's the point that's fantastic we are protecting our interests defending our borders without having to risk soldiers lives that's fantastic but if the history of previous drone usage is any indication this technology tends to be used for far more than it is publicly stated it will be used for many of you may be surprised to know that Obama not only embraced but vastly expanded Bush's drone program he killed many more terrorists and many more innocent civilians than Bush did if you have the power it is very difficult to restrain yourself from using it for other things than you originally intended to do and this is a risk not just for Google but for anybody who has awesome power guys I know this is a seriously hot topic but I really do want to hear your opinion on it please let me know in the comments below or on Twitter and let's keep it civil and intelligent like me do you like ultra-thin bong cases if so you just need protection against everyday wear and tear and our sponsor has super-thin cases price just right for all major phones you can go to minimal case calm use our coupon code AAA 20 and get 20% off an already sweet deal bang-bang
