The company now intends to work with governments to develop AI solutions \"<em>strenghten national security<\/em>\", leaving <strong>the door open to military and surveillance applications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This change raises <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/google-responsible-ai-principles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">questions about the consistency<\/a> of Google's commitments ot social responsability. In 2018, the company announced a set of ethical rules limiting its involvement in the design of weapons or systems for mass surveillance. However, the new version of the charter no longer excludes these uses, raising fears that <strong>AI could be sued to strengthen military or repressive capabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Last summer, nearly 200 Google DeepMind employees signed <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/7013685\/google-ai-deepmind-military-contracts-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">open letter<\/a> demanding an end to the firm's military contractq, citing in particular the \"Nimbus project\", which provides a cloud service to the Israeli authorities and armed forces. The signatories denounced a <strong>breach of neutrality<\/strong> and an <strong>contradiction with the company's policy in favour of human rights<\/strong>. With this latest U-turn, Google seems to be giving priority to government partnerships and the conquest of defence-related markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Several human rights organisations, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/fr\/news\/2025\/02\/06\/google-se-dit-dispose-developper-lia-pour-des-armes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Human Rights Watch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.be\/infos\/actualites\/article\/google-leve-interdiction-usage-fins-militaires-coup-droits#nb2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amnesty International<\/a>, are calling for increased vigilance regarding military projects involving AI. They <strong>fear an algorithmic arms race<\/strong> and an <strong>intensification of mass surveillance<\/strong>. For its part, Google <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/7013685\/google-ai-deepmind-military-contracts-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">says<\/a> that its updates aim to clarify the notion of \"<em>responsible AI<\/em>\" while acknowledging the need to work with public authorities to \"ensure global security\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The changes of direction raise the <a href=\"https:\/\/press.un.org\/fr\/2024\/cs15946.doc.htm\">question of international regulation<\/a> for the military uses of AI. While research is progressing rapidly, <strong>many voices are calling for stricter frameworks<\/strong>, in the same way as for conventional weapons. Internal and external criticism of Google is a reminder that the balance between innovation, security, and human rights remains fragile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le 4 f\u00e9vrier 2025, Google a modifi\u00e9 sa charte sur l\u2019usage de l\u2019intelligence artificielle, supprimant son engagement de ne pas d\u00e9velopper de technologies pouvant \u00ab\u202fprovoquer un pr\u00e9judice global\u202f\u00bb ou aller \u00e0 l\u2019encontre des principes du droit international et des droits humains.
