Documents Reveal Advanced AI Tools Google Is Selling to Israel

Training materials reviewed by The Intercept confirm that Google is offering advanced artificial intelligence and machine-learning capabilities to the Israeli government through its controversial "Project Nimbus" contract. The Israeli Finance Ministry announced the contract in April 2021 for a $1.2 billion cloud computing system jointly built by Google and Amazon. "The project is intended to provide the government, the defense establishment and others with an all-encompassing cloud solution," the ministry said in its announcement.
