Dozens of Google Employees Suddenly Resign

Jakarta - Dozens of employees of Google reportedly resigned from the company's Mountain View, California, US. This mass resign action is based on Google's project with the US Department of Defense.

The project in question is Project Maven, a research to develop computer vision algorithms that can analyze video recordings from drones. With this technology, analysis of video results from drones can be accelerated by way of classifying objects and people.

The resignation is a step they took after the protests of thousands of Google employees three months ago did not seem to get a response from Google. They fear that this technology will be misused, and used to do offensive things.
