More than 600 Google employees demanded on Monday (April 27, 2026) that the company reject a proposed Pentagon deal that would allow its artificial intelligence technology to be deployed in classified military operations, a statement said.

The letter, addressed to Chief Executive Sundar Pichai and signed by workers from Google DeepMind, Cloud, and other divisions, comes as the tech giant is in active negotiations with the U.S. Department of Defence to deploy its flagship Gemini AI model in classified settings.
