Google is effectively building AI for the Chinese military by opening their AI center in China

You can be sure every bit of that research will end up in the hands of the Chinese government and military. So their arguments for not working with the Pentagon are thus void.

Also hypocritical considering DARPA funded Larry and Sergey's research into what would become Google

The crux of the article seems to be google's hypocrisy by backing out of a business deal with the Us Defense Dpt. citing ethical concerns while doing business with China.

Maybe Google thought the $$$ outweighed any moral concerns with China but not with the DoD.

I agree with half of what the general is saying: Google should stay the fuck away from China.
