Google’s updated AI ethics policy removes its promise that it won’t use the technology to pursue weapons and surveillance.

Google published principles in 2018 barring its AI technology from being used for sensitive purposes. Weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term, those guidelines are being overhauled.

Google released a new Gemini AI for the Super Bowl game, which sparked a Gouda cheese controversy that Google had to fix.

According to an internal memo, the company is also reevaluating changes to its other DEI programs 'to comply with recent court decisions and US Executive Orders.'
