POTUS says Google CEO Sundar Pichai told him he is 'totally committed to the U.S. military'

 

US President Donald Trump tweeted that he met with Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Thursday.

 

"Just met with Sundar Pichai, President of Google, who is obviously doing quite well. He state strongly that he is totally committed to the U.S. military, not the Chinese Military…" Trump tweeted.

 

In a second tweet, Trump said that the two also "discussed political fairness and various things that Google can do for our Country. Meeting ended very well!"

News that Pichai would be speaking with the president had not been announced before the tweet.

According to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday, Pichai was set to meet with top military official, Gen. Joseph Dunford, whose comment about Google's artificial-intelligence work in China "indirectly benefit[ing] the Chinese military" initiated the discussion.

A Google spokesperson told Business Insider on Wednesday: "We were pleased to have productive conversations with the President about investing in the future of the American workforce, the growth of emerging technologies and our ongoing commitment to working with the U.S. government."

 

Last week Google denied working with the Chinese military after a tweet from Trump accused it of doing so.

"We are not working with the Chinese military," Google said.

 

Google — which opened an AI lab in Beijing in late 2017 — says on its website that its AI activities in China focus on "education, research on natural language understanding and market algorithms, and development of globally available tools."
