桑达尔·皮查伊在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上遭遇嘘声和离场抗议,起因是谷歌与以色列及ICE(美国移民与海关执法局)的合作关系。

内容总结:
谷歌CEO桑达尔·皮查伊上周末在斯坦福大学发表毕业演讲时遭遇学生抗议。约200名应届毕业生在演讲期间集体离场,部分学生发出嘘声。这场抗议源于谷歌与以色列军方的合作协议,包括备受争议的“云盾计划”(Project Nimbus)——这项与亚马逊共同承担的12亿美元合同,旨在为以色列军方提供云服务与人工智能技术,此外谷歌还与美国移民和海关执法局(ICE)存在业务往来。
抗议学生高举“ICE用谷歌AI当间谍”“种族灭绝依赖谷歌运转”等标语,并挥舞巴勒斯坦国旗高呼“解放巴勒斯坦”。抗议组织者包括“斯坦福学生争取巴勒斯坦正义”“拒绝技术种族隔离”等校园团体,他们在声明中指出:“我们拒绝为助长暴力的公司背书,要用行动做出不同选择。”
随着加沙战事持续,谷歌参与的“云盾计划”已引发多轮内外抗议。2024年,该公司曾因员工抗议该合同而解雇28人,但内部反对声浪至今未息。电子前哨基金会近期也批评谷歌等企业“对以色列使用其服务视而不见”。值得注意的是,微软同样因支持以色列军方受到批评,但在调查发现其云服务被用于大规模监控巴勒斯坦人后,该公司已限制以色列政府使用相关技术。
这场抗议也引发商界领袖抨击。硅谷知名风投家、Sun公司联合创始人维诺德·科斯拉在社交平台X上发文,称抗议者“偏执、愚蠢、短视且自私”,指责他们“无视全球30亿可能受益于AI的底层人民,只关注被错误信息误导的狭隘私利”。
皮查伊的遭遇并非孤例。近期美国多所高校的毕业典礼演讲者,在试图向毕业生兜售人工智能美好前景时均遭遇嘘声。但罕见的是,此次学生的矛头并非指向AI炒作本身,而是直指谷歌的具体商业决策。调查显示,年轻人普遍认为AI正威胁就业机会,甚至破坏社会结构。

上周末,谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊在斯坦福大学发表毕业典礼演讲时,遭遇了一场小型抗议。他曾在斯坦福大学获得材料科学与工程硕士学位。据报道,约有200名应届毕业生中途离场,另有一些学生向这位科技高管发出响亮的嘘声。
抗议的焦点在于谷歌与国防领域的关联——包括备受争议的"尼姆布斯"项目(一项与亚马逊共享的12亿美元合同,旨在向以色列军方提供云服务和人工智能技术),以及其与美国移民和海关执法局的关系。
与抗议活动相关的新闻稿指出,学生们举着的标语包括"ICE借助谷歌AI进行间谍活动""种族灭绝依托谷歌运转"以及"解放巴勒斯坦"。网络视频显示,学生们还挥舞巴勒斯坦旗帜,高喊"解放巴勒斯坦"。
与抗议活动相关的一份声明写道:"我们选择离场,是因为我们拒绝为那些助长暴力的企业歌功颂德,并行使我们的权力做出不同选择。"
此次离场抗议由多个校园活动团体组织,包括斯坦福大学学生争取巴勒斯坦正义组织、不为种族隔离提供技术支持组织,以及技术促进解放组织。TechCrunch已联系谷歌寻求评论。
随着加沙战争愈演愈烈,谷歌参与"尼姆布斯"项目引发了公司内外的抗议。2024年,谷歌因员工抗议该合同而解雇了28人,但此后公司内部对此问题的异议始终未能平息。近期,电子前沿基金会也对其提出批评,指责谷歌及其他公司对以色列使用其服务的行为"选择视而不见"。
"尼姆布斯"项目也得到了亚马逊的支持。微软同样因支持以色列军方而受到批评,不过在调查发现其云服务被用于大规模监控巴勒斯坦人后,该公司限制了以色列政府对其技术的使用。
此次学生抗议也引发了商界领袖在网上的批评。太阳微系统公司联合创始人、硅谷知名风险投资家维诺德·科斯拉在X平台上发帖称,这场抗议"带有偏见、愚不可及、目光短浅且极其自私",他认为其自私之处在于学生们"忽视了地球上可能从人工智能中受益的30亿底层民众,而只担心自己基于错误信息的私利"。
皮查伊现身斯坦福大学只是更广泛现象的一部分。在全国各地的大学毕业典礼上,当演讲者试图激发即将离校的学生对人工智能的热情时,常常遭到嘘声。但很少有学生的敌意像对待皮查伊那样具有针对性——并非针对人工智能炒作本身,而是针对他所领导公司做出的具体商业决策。总体而言,年轻人似乎认为人工智能正在威胁他们的就业机会,并可能对其他社会领域造成破坏。

Over the weekend, Google CEO Sundar Pichai faced a small revolt when he delivered his commencement speech at Stanford University, where he earned his graduate degree in materials science and engineering. About 200 students from the graduating class reportedly walked out, while others loudly booed the tech executive.
The focus of the protest was Google’s defense ties — including Project Nimbus, the controversial $1.2 billion contract, shared with Amazon, to provide cloud and AI services to the Israeli military, as well as its relationship with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Student signs included phrases like “ICE SPIES WITH GOOGLE AI” and “GENOCIDE RUNS ON GOOGLE,” as well as “FREE FREE PALESTINE,” a press release associated with the protest notes. Students also waved Palestinian flags and shouted “free Palestine,” online video of the protest shows.
“We are walking out because we refuse to glorify the corporations that fuel this violence and exercise our power to choose differently,” a statement associated with the protest reads.
The walkout was organized by a number of campus activist groups, including Stanford Students for Justice in Palestine, No Tech for Apartheid, and Tech for Liberation. TechCrunch reached out to Google for comment.
As the war in Gaza has raged, Google’s participation in Nimbus has drawn protests from both inside and outside of the company. In 2024, Google fired 28 workers for protesting the contract, although it has continued to suffer internal dissent over the issue since then. It was also recently criticized by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which accused it and other companies of “choosing to look the other way” on Israel’s use of their services.
Project Nimbus also enjoys support from Amazon. Microsoft has also been criticized for its support of the Israeli military, although the company restricted the Israeli government’s use of its technology after an investigation found that its cloud services were being used to mass-surveil Palestinians.
The student protest also drew criticism from business leaders online. Vinod Khosla, the billionaire co-founder of Sun Microsystems and one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent venture capitalists, posted on X that the protest was “biased, idiotic, short-sighted and very selfish,” adding that it was selfish because the students “ignored the bottom 3 billion people on this planet that could benefit from AI and they are worried about their misinformed selfish self-interest.”
Pichai’s appearance at Stanford is part of a broader pattern. Speakers at college graduation ceremonies around the country have faced boos when they have attempted to get outgoing college students excited about AI. But rarely has student animus been as targeted as it was with Pichai, directed not at AI hype, but at the specific business decisions made by the company he leads. In general, young people seem to believe that AI is threatening their employment opportunities and may be ruining other parts of society as well.
