READ MORE: All-Seeing Eye: Google working with Pentagon on using AI for drone improvement

Moore, who was last dean of the School of Computer Science at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, will become the chief of cloud computing AI at the California company, where he previously worked between 2006 and 2014, at the end of the year.
"I am bursting with excitement about this," said Moore in a statement published by Google. “I have always deeply believed in the power of technology to improve the state of the world, so for me it's a big opportunity to help Google bring useful AI to all the other industry verticals."
But what those “industry verticals” are likely to be, will engender some concern.
The UK-born, naturalized American’s professional credentials are impeccable, but Moore’s other recent high-profile appointment, in March, was to the co-chairmanship of the Task Force on Artificial Intelligence and National Security and Center for a New American Security (CNAS).
CNAS is one of the most powerful military-affiliated think tanks in Washington, relentlessly hawkish over Russia, and the task force aims to develop uses of AI to fend off foreign threats to the United States.
There is nothing illegal about Moore combining both jobs, but it is notable that the company received pushback from its employees and bad media publicity after it was revealed in March that it partnered up with the Pentagon to work on Project Maven. Its role was to deploy AI technologies to study footage obtained by US drones to improve their targeting technologies in the future. Leaked emails revealed that this was an area Google expected to grow more than tenfold in the coming years.
After the fallout, Google said that it would not renew its contract for Project Maven participation for next year. Its CEO Sundar Pichai personally authored new guidelines for the corporation, promising that Google would not involved itself in “technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm” or “weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people.”
Incidentally, Moore’s co-chair at the CNAS task force? Former deputy Secretary of Defense Robert O. Work, the man who gave the order to start Project Maven.
Now, Moore’s hiring doesn’t automatically imply that Google is back in with Pentagon, and even if it is, the company is entitled to be. But if Google does plan to stick to its “no deadly weapons” policy, and Moore intends to stay in both posts, he should probably clarify that there is no cross-pollination or conflict of interest between his quasi-military and civilian jobs.

ALCHEMY MINING GROUP, INC
For the purposes of decentralization, enforcing beneficial market incentives and funding, we have created a Waves digital currency "AlchemyLGCoin"© utility token asset backed by Limited Edition gold coins, listed for trading and operating on Waves – (DEX) decentralized exchange proof of stake, open market blockchain platform live for Crowdfunding.
AlchemyLGCoin© utility token is a negotiable title of ownership in a digital crypto form asset backed with responsibly processed gold mined & extracted from our Ecuador JV underground gold mine MINA SAN JUAN. The processed ore is then crafted into 2,000 unique one-ounce (95%+ purity) Limited Edition collectible gold coins.
We own a 50% equity and board control of Alquimia y Explotación Minera San Juan Alquiexmi S.A., our joint venture Ecuador gold mining company with granted mineral rights on two gold mine concessions with operations on Bella Rica Codigo: 15 in the Bella Rica mining area, western Azuay province, municipality of Camilo Ponce Enríquez Ecuador.
The Bella Rica Codigo: 15 concession has a running water stream and has been developed with buildings, equipment, operational facilities and being artisanally mined and exploited by our joint venture partner blasting a 1.3 Km main underground tunnel “MINA SAN JUAN” with 2 extensions extracting ore from 3 identified veins of 5 known veins producing gold balls and dores since 2012.
SYSTEMIC ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM
Environmental Impact of Artisanal Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) in Southern Ecuador is causing considerable environmental impacts, the most important of which are related to the discharge of metals, metalloids and cyanide into adjacent rivers.
Studies have shown that the gold workers were exposed to intoxicatingly high levels of mercury with 85% of them suffered neurological symptoms, such as tremors, and 44%–56% of them experienced restricted fields of vision, slow reflexes, sensory disturbances, unbalanced rigidity, and ataxia.
The majority of Hg emitted by gold smelters being deposited within 1 km of the emission source contaminating the urban areas with a mix of lead, mercury, manganese, and various cyanides eventually flushed into the river system poisoning the water and killing all aquatic life in the area.
Responsible gold ore processing begins with our own gold ore mined from MINA SAN JUAN the Bella Rica mining district Camillo Ponce western Azuay province Rio de Oro Ecuador.
