This provision establishes Google's operational boundaries for AI development by categorically excluding certain application domains from development and deployment activities. It functions as an institutional commitment that constrains product design decisions across identified high-risk categories.
Interpretive note: The provision relies on internal benefit-risk judgments that are not subject to external audit or verification under the document's terms.
This provision does not establish specific obligations or restrictions on user conduct. It describes Google's commitments regarding which categories of AI systems the company will not build, rather than governing user access to or use of existing services.

"We want to be clear that while we are optimistic about the potential of AI, we recognize that advanced technologies can raise important ethical challenges that we have a responsibility to address. We will not design or deploy AI in the following application areas: Technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm. Where there is a material risk of harm, we will proceed only where we believe that the benefits substantially outweigh the risks, and will incorporate appropriate safety constraints. Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people. Technologies that gather or use information for surveillance violating internationally accepted norms. Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights.— Excerpt from Google's Google AI Principles
