#AICrashOrComeback Google has removed a commitment from its artificial intelligence (AI) principles, a commitment that previously aimed to avoid the development of AI for weapons and surveillance. This change reflects the company's approach to national security partnerships as AI becomes increasingly integrated into military and intelligence operations.

In a blog post published on Tuesday, Google executives stated that the update was necessary due to the growing prevalence of AI and the need for technology companies based in democratic countries to support government and defense clients.
