Google is establishing an Advanced Technology External Advisory Council as it develops an ethical approach to AI technology. The move follows last year's public release of Google’s AI principles following the firm's exit from a controversial deal with the Pentagon. In its new policy, Google says that “artificial intelligence systems should not be used for destructive or discriminatory purposes, nor should they intentionally cause harm in ways that would violate human rights.” The advisory council will comprise eight researchers and experts who will meet four times in 2019.

That happened when thousands of employees urged the company not to "engage in the business of war". The advisory council will comprise eight researchers and experts who will meet four times in 2019.
