AI engineer says Google unfairly sacked him after he protested against work for Israel
A Palestinian heritage AI engineer at Google DeepMind has filed an unfair dismissal claim with the UK Employment Tribunal, alleging he was sacked after distributing leaflets and emailing colleagues to protest the company's AI work for the Israeli government and its 2025 reversal of ethical principles barring harmful weapons and surveillance uses. Google disputes his account, stating it allows constructive discourse, while other DeepMind staff have expressed growing concern over the company's shift towards military and intelligence AI applications, with some resigning over ethical objections.
