[Over 200 Google and OpenAI Employees Jointly Urge Restrictions on Military AI Applications] According to Axios, more than 200 employees from Google and OpenAI have signed a joint open letter, calling on both companies to follow Anthropic's example and pledge not to use their advanced AI technologies for domestic surveillance in the U.S. or fully autonomous weapons. The open letter states that the Pentagon is negotiating with Google and OpenAI, seeking access that Anthropic has already declined, and is attempting to create divisions by exploiting differing stances among the companies. The joint letter urges the management of both companies to set aside differences and establish a unified position on drawing "red lines" for government military and surveillance applications. Currently, signatures can be submitted anonymously and must undergo verification.
