Lucy Hooker & Chris Vallance, BBC; Google lifts its ban on using AI for weapons
"Google's parent company has ditched a longstanding principle and lifted a ban on artificial intelligence (AI) being used for developing weapons and surveillance tools.
Alphabet has rewritten its guidelines on how it will use AI, dropping a section which previously ruled out applications that were "likely to cause harm".
In a blog post Google defended the change, arguing that businesses and democratic governments needed to work together on AI that "supports national security".
Experts say AI could be widely deployed on the battlefield - though there are fears about its use too, particularly with regard to autonomous weapons systems."
