Google employees protest company's $1.2B AI project with Israeli military

Tech workers at Google held sit-in protests in NY and CA offices over Project Nimbus, a $1.2B AI and cloud computing contract with the Israeli government.

Protestors demand Google end support for the Israeli military and drop Project Nimbus.

The movement inside Google against the company's ties to the Israeli military is growing.

One protestor was a Google engineer recently fired for yelling "No tech for apartheid!" at an Israeli tech conference.

There are concerns Israel is using advanced AI systems named "Lavender" and "The Gospel" to target civilians, though the cloud provider powering them is unknown.
