According to CCTV news, on the 16th local time, some Google employees held a rally in front of their office building in Sunnyvale, California, protesting against Google's artificial intelligence project providing services to the Israeli Ministry of Defense. The protesters called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Nimbus is a collaborative project between Google and Amazon, which provides cloud computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence capabilities to the Israeli Ministry of Defense. The Israeli Ministry of Finance stated in 2021 that the construction of this project will take many years. The US website "Intercept" previously reported that Google's services provided to Israel through Google Cloud have functions such as artificial intelligence facial detection, automatic image classification, and object tracking; But the full use of these technological means has not been publicly disclosed, and the transparency of the project has been questioned by protesters.
