Fortune May 5: Google DeepMind UK workers voted 98% to unionize over military AI contracts. Union demands: end military AI use, restore Google's scrapped weapons pledge, independent ethics oversight body, individual right to refuse projects. Pentagon deal grants 'any lawful purpose' access including classified networks. Google removed ban on AI weapons in Feb 2025. 580+ Google employees urge Pichai to refuse classified Pentagon deal. First frontier AI lab to organize collectively.
