Employees of Google DeepMind, located in the UK, are in the process of unionizing to contest the company’s involvement in defense contracts and its connections with the Israeli government. This move comes after a change in policy that permits the sale of artificial intelligence technologies to defense groups. Approximately 300 staff members from the London office are seeking to join the Communication Workers Union (CWU). The unionization effort is reported to challenge these deals and the ethical implications associated with them.
