Feb. 17 - According to last week's news from The Guardian, the British newspaperGoogle<\/a>Executives detailed how the company will phase out its diversity program, and in an all-hands meeting, made a case for abandoning \"opposition to the construction of weapons and surveillance\".

Melonie Parker, Google's former head of diversity, says the companyis eliminating its diversity and inclusion employee training program<\/strong>The training program will be \"updated\" to include \"DEI content\" in the broader training program.<\/p>\n

Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company has always been \"deeply concerned\" about hiring a workforce that represents the diversity of its users around the world.However, the company must comply with the laws and regulations of the place where it operates<\/strong>. \"Our values are timeless, but we must comply with legal directives as they evolve.\"<\/p>\n

We're increasingly being asked to take our place in some important conversations,\" said Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer.I think it's great for the community.<\/strong>, because Google is playing a role in the conversation in these areas where we do specialize -- cybersecurity, some work in biology, and more. While there may be some strict prohibitions that existed in the 'first version of the AI Principles' that don't quite fit with the more nuanced conversations we're having now, our goal is always to make the benefits far outweigh the risks.\"<\/p>\n
