In its efforts to lead in the AI space, Google set forth ethical guidelines back in 2018. They aimed to advance AI technology while taking into consideration its potential for harm.

At first glance, it appeared that Google was adopting a responsible stance aimed at ensuring AI would enhance, rather than jeopardize, humanity.
