[Google Suddenly Withdraws from U.S. Department of Defense Drone Swarm Technology Bid] According to a report by Jinse Finance on April 29, sources revealed that Google, after successfully making it to the shortlist for the Pentagon's $100 million voice-controlled autonomous drone swarm technology bid, suddenly withdrew from the competition. Another insider disclosed that the company informed the U.S. government on February 11 that it would no longer participate in the program aimed at developing drone swarm control technology, just weeks after the proposal was submitted. Relevant records indicate that this decision was made following an internal ethical review within the company. The records also show that Alphabet's Google cited a lack of "resources" as the official reason for withdrawing from the project. The records further reveal that several Google employees involved in the project expressed disappointment over the decision to withdraw, while hundreds of Google's AI researchers had already voiced strong opposition to the use of the company's cutting-edge technology for classified military purposes.
