Unity employees are questioning the company’s lack of transparency over its military and government work.
Waypoint also obtained a draft memo that instructs Unity managers to use terms like ‘government’ and ‘defence’ instead of ‘military.’
Three sources that spoke with Waypoint claimed that some Unity employees could end up developing technology for military clients without ever knowing it, largely because Unity often nicknames those government and military contracts as ‘GovTech’ initiatives.
“Most Unity AI work empowers other government projects, so in this way it can be difficult to gauge one’s contribution to government projects,” said one source.
