谷歌 DeepMind 员工因军方 AI 合约投票组建工会
谷歌 deepmind 伦敦员工以 98% 的支持率投票组建工会，要求终止与以色列和美国的军事合同。他们担心其 ai 模型协助种族灭绝并违反国际法。管理层有 10 天时间承认代表 1000 多名员工的工会，否则将面临法律诉讼。
Google DeepMind employees in London have voted overwhelmingly, with 98% support, to unionize under the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and Unite the Union. The move directly challenges Google's military contracts, specifically citing concerns that AI models are aiding Israel's military actions and making 'genocide cheaper, faster, and more efficient.' The group represents over 1,000 staff and is demanding the right to abstain from projects violating their ethical standards, alongside a commitment to stop developing weapons technologies. This follows Google's recent decision to allow the US Department of Defense to use its models for 'any lawful government purpose' and the termination of over 50 employees involved in similar protests earlier in 2024.
