#4The best way to lead is by example. Thank you, Googlers.
The choice not to accept business is a hard one. I've recently turned away from precision-metrology work where I couldn't be certain of its intent; in every other way, it was precisely the sort of work I'd like to do, and the compensation was likely to be good.
These stated principles are very much in line with those that I've chosen; a technology's primary purpose and intent must be for non-offensive and non-surveillance purposes.
We should have a lot of respect for a company's clear declaration of work which it will not do.

#6> AI applications we will not pursue [...] Technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm. [...] Weapons or other technologies
This statement will have zero impact on subsequent sensational headlines or posters here claiming Google is making killbots.

#7The fact that “make money” isn’t on the list means that you can’t believe any of it.
Also point 5 is an outright, blatant falsehood given Google’s track record and indeed entire business model.

Pretty well, all things considered.

They’re only fighting the EU to maintain their horizontal integration against allegations of unfair competition.
