Hi,
In reference to this article: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/05/google-pledges-not-to-make-custom-software-for-oil-and-g...
I apologize, I could not find the source straight from Google.
This question is not a critique of if Google should do this or not.
Thanks!
If I understand this correct, Google saidโฆ
โฆ"'it will not โbuild custom AI/ML algorithms to facilitate upstream extraction in the oil and gas industry,โ the company announced on Tuesday. This represents a small but significant win for climate activists."
They are not saying that Oil and Gas companies cannot use their platform or any of Googleโs sub companies, like AppSheet, but they are saying that Google itself pledges not to build complex AI software systems for the Oil and Gas industry like they do for other industries. This should not affect your ability to use AppSheet though.
I am not an expert on this, and this is just my understanding of what they said.
Also, I believe appsheet has sample apps that are in the Oil and Gas industry, just look up โRigโ, and you should see them.
If Google doesnโt make AI software just for Oil and Gas themselves, I can understand this, but I definitely think that they shouldnโt be able to stop you from using their services.
