900 Google and OpenAI workers demand employers impose ethical limits on military AI use

Nearly 900 Google and OpenAI employees signed an open letter titled "We Will Not Be Divided" urging their employers to reject Pentagon demands to remove ethical limits on military AI use. The petition, released March 3, demanded companies refuse AI deployment for autonomous lethal targeting or domestic mass surveillance without human oversight. The letter cited Claude AI's reported role in selecting over 1,000 targets in U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
