Microsoft will sell artificial intelligence to U.S. military

Microsoft's blog post stated that if granted the contract, the company will give differential employees an option to "work on a different project or team". Microsoft said Friday it is prepared to provide its technology to the US military, including for a massive cloud computing project, despite ethics concerns among some of its employees and others in Silicon Valley. Microsoft president Brad Smith agrees. Throughout the piece, Smith continued to walk a fine line between patriotic duty to support the US military, while carefully conceding that there will be different opinions in a large and diverse company population (some of whom aren't USA citizens). The company, he said, is already working with experts to help it do so.
