Google DeepMind workers vote to unionize over military AI deals
영국 런던에 위치한 구글 딥마인드 직원들이 군사 AI 기술 제공에 반대하며 노조 결성을 투표로 결정했다. 이들은 구글이 AI 윤리 기준을 준수하고, 미국과 이스라엘 군사 계약에서 철수할 것을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 움직임은 AI 산업 전반에 걸쳐 확산되고 있으며, 다른 AI 연구소 직원들도 유사한 행동에 나설 가능성이 있다. 구글은 아직 공식적인 노조 결성 투표가 없다고 밝혔으나, 직원들과의 대화를 지속하겠다는 입장이다.

I've finally done it! My Grand Unified Theory of IT is complete thanks to #AI! It's actually not that complicated! I call it, "The Zero-Consequence Model":

By inserting AI into everything, when something goes wrong, it's not your fault! It's the AI that caused it; the model's at fault, not you 👍

It's the perfect way to run an IT organization! What could possibly go wrong‽
