👉 The formerly Project, now known as the "Project Maven," was a defense-related artificial intelligence initiative led by Google Cloud and the U.S. Department of Defense. Initially aimed at developing AI technologies to enhance military operations, including autonomous systems and predictive analytics, the project involved training machine learning models on vast datasets to improve decision-making processes in complex combat scenarios. However, the project faced significant controversy due to ethical concerns over the use of AI in warfare and the potential for civilian harm. In 2018, Google announced it would withdraw from the project, citing these concerns and a desire to focus on more socially responsible AI applications.
