Google Employee Alleges Retaliation for Speaking Out Against Providing AI to Israeli Military and Government
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In tech news, an employee at Google says she was forced out of the
company for speaking out against a secretive Google project to provide
artificial intelligence tools to the Israeli government and military. In
her resignation letter, Ariel Koren wrote, "Google systematically
silences Palestinian, Jewish, Arab and Muslim voices concerned about
Google's complicity in violations of Palestinian human rights - to the
point of formally retaliating against workers and creating an
environment of fear."
