This is the biggest protest of technology giant Google employees, BBC reported.

Google has created an artificial intelligence program for analyzing video footage using drones in the Pentagon's Maven project. Project Maven is working to improve artificial intelligence to perfect military drone power.

Here is the objection the staff said. This is the first step in using artificial intelligence to threaten them. Because of this, the workers are protesting as well as leaving the job. Although Google has not made any official statement about it yet

According to company sources, Google's Chief Executive Diane Green said on Friday that there is no progress in the details of the current project after the expiration of the deadline in March.

Although technology website Geoffo's reporter Kate Konger told the BBC, Google has not canceled the Maven project with Montgomery, and there is no evidence that it will work with them in the future.
