In a blog, Whittaker warns that the internet giant’s AI software and huge computing resources are helping it expand in unsettling ways

San Francisco — Meredith Whittaker, who helped lead employee protests at Google over the search giant’s military work, artificial intelligence and policies, is leaving the company.

“Google, in the conventional pursuit of quarterly earnings, is gaining significant and largely unchecked power to impact our world ,” she wrote in a blog on Tuesday. “How this vast power is used — who benefits and who bears the risk — is one of the most urgent social and political questions of our time.”

Over the past year, some staff at Google erupted in protest, prompting the company to drop a Pentagon AI contract and a censored search project in China. Other Google protesters were saddened by Whittaker’s resignation, but hopeful that their attempts to hold large tech companies accountable will continue.
