谷歌 DeepMind 員工因軍方 AI 合約投票組建工會
谷歌 deepmind 倫敦員工以 98% 的支持率投票組建工會，要求終止與以色列和美國的軍事合同。他們擔心其 ai 模型協助種族滅絕並違反國際法。管理層有 10 天時間承認代表 1000 多名員工的工會，否則將面臨法律訴訟。
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.
