“We are going to support the Department of Defense, this country is important” Bezos says at an annual defence forum in Simi Valley, California
Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos said it would support the US Department of Defense as technology companies vie for more defence contracts and the Pentagon seeks to modernise itself.
Tech companies have faced challenges when trying to work with the Pentagon. Last year a defence program, named Project Maven, set off a revolt, as some employees opposed Google technology being used in warfare. Those employees said it clashed with Google’s stated goal of doing no harm and cited risks around using a nascent artificial intelligence technology in lethal situations.
The contract has caused controversy over whether internet giants who say they want to make the world better should be involved in the defence industry.
