BBC News

Friday's papers focus on a diverse mix of topics. The Daily Telegraph reports on the second and final day of the AI summit at Bletchley Park, during which Prime Minister Rishi Sunak interviewed billionaire X and Tesla owner Elon Musk, who told the PM that technology will "do everything" in the future and that people would only need to work if they want to for "personal satisfaction". Mr Musk and Mr Sunak also discussed the tax system and whether robots can become "real friends".


Google workers want to end work on Defense Department drone project, cite 'Don't Be Evil' motto

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

New reports show that Google has ten times the personal information stored on you as Facebook. Tony Spitz has the details. More than 3,000 Google employees have signed a letter asking management end the company's involvement in Project Maven, a Defense Department drone surveillance project. The employees, in a letter addressed to company CEO Sundar Pichai, say Google's assistance in developing the artificial intelligence-powered system to detect vehicles and other objects in video captured by military drones betrays the company's motto of "Don't Be Evil." Google counters the employees' arguments saying, in a statement, the company's involvement is for "non-offensive purposes" and is used "to flag images for human review and is intended to save lives and save people from having to do highly tedious work."
