Google says it will not extend a contract into next year to help the U.S. military analyze drone videos following complaints from company employees.

　　谷歌称，在公司员工投诉后，该公司不会将帮助美国军方分析无人机视频的合同延长到明年。

　　U.S. media reports said Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., told Google employees about the decision Friday. The development was first reported by tech publication Gizmodo.

　　据美国媒体报道称，谷歌母公司Alphabet公司周五向谷歌员工透露了这一决定。这一进展最早是由科技出版物Gizmodo报道的。

　　Google employees say the tech giant will continue to work on the Maven Project until the contract ends next March. The military project uses artificial intelligence to increase defense capabilities, including using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze aerial drone imagery.

　　谷歌员工们表示，这家科技巨头将继续致力于Maven项目，直到明年3月合同结束。这个军事项目使用人工智能来增强防御能力，包括使用人工智能(AI)来分析无人机的图像。

　　Thousands of Google employees signed a petition urging the company to cancel the contract, arguing that helping the military would violate Google’s motto of “Don’t be evil.”

　　数千名谷歌员工签署了一份请愿书，以敦促谷歌取消终止合同，而且称帮助军方违反了谷歌的格言“不要作恶”

　　Reuters reports that several hundred Google employees had planned to hold a public rally in San Francisco in July to protest the military contract.

　　据路透社报道，谷歌数百名员工计划于7月份在旧金山举行公开集会，并且抗议这项军事合同。

　　Google had earlier defended the company’s involvement in the project saying it was limited to helping the military with nonoffensive tasks and said the project would help save lives.

　　谷歌早些时候曾为该公司参与该项目辩护，称该项目仅限于帮助军方执行非进攻性任务，并表示该项目将有助于拯救珍贵的生命。

　　Google says it will soon release new company guidelines related to the ethical uses of AI.

　　据谷歌表示，它将尽快发布与人工智能的道德伦理使用有关的新公司指南。
