Google’s Work with China Eroding US Military Advantage, Dunford Says

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford said Thursday that he would likely be meeting next week with Google executives on his concerns that the work Google was doing with China on artificial intelligence and other technologies was undermining the U.S military. Unless precautions are taken, U.S. business ventures in China could “enable the Chinese military to take advantage of the technology developed in the United States,” Dunford said. The remarks at the Atlantic Council event echoed those expressed by Dunford and Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last week on Google and other firms doing business in China while showing reluctance to work with the U.S. military.
