据彭博社周五报道，Alphabet旗下的Google正与美国国防部洽谈，协助保护“金穹顶”计划背后的数据。Sana Pashankar和Kiel Porter援引知情人士的话称，这些人因谈判尚未公开而要求匿名。TNW未能独立核实该报道。
Alphabet’s Google is in talks with the US Defense Department to help protect the data behind Golden Dome, Bloomberg reported on Friday. Sana Pashankar and Kiel Porter cited people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks are not public. TNW has not independently verified the report.
“金穹顶”是唐纳德·特朗普总统的一项计划，旨在通过从地面到太空的多层防御体系，保护美国免受外国攻击。据Defense One报道，今年3月，五角大楼将其成本估算上调至1850亿美元。
Golden Dome is President Donald Trump’s plan to shield the US from foreign attack with layers of defences, from the ground to space. In March, the Pentagon raised its cost estimate to $185bn, Defense One reported.
新小组将做什么 据彭博社消息人士透露，五角大楼正在组建一个新的行业小组，以保障为“金穹顶”军事软件提供数据的数据安全。预计将有多家公司加入。
What the new group would do The Pentagon is setting up a new industry group to secure the data that feeds Golden Dome’s military software, according to Bloomberg’s sources. Several companies are likely to join it.
他们的任务是确保数据持续流入该计划的新指挥控制软件，即使在遭受攻击时也是如此。彭博社列举的例子包括试图切断固定电话、手机基站和其他通信链路的行为。
Their task would be to keep data flowing into the programme’s new command-and-control software even under attack. Bloomberg’s examples include attempts to cut off landlines, cell towers and other communications links.
知情人士之一表示，与Google的谈判集中在其数据存储、网络和网络安全业务上。谈判处于早期阶段，计划可能会变化。这些人补充说，从Google分拆出来的网络公司Aalyria已是该小组成员。
The talks with Google have focused on its data storage, networking and cybersecurity work, one of the people said. They are at an early stage, and plans could change. Aalyria, a networking company spun out of Google, is part of the group, the people added.
一名五角大楼官员告诉彭博社，该办公室可能会探索早期概念。该官员表示，尚未就是否成立新小组以及哪些公司将加入做出最终决定。Google和Aalyria拒绝向彭博社置评。
A Pentagon official told Bloomberg that the office may explore early concepts. No final decision has been made on a new group or on which companies would join it, the official said. Google and Aalyria declined to comment to Bloomberg.
Google与五角大楼 另一个由Anduril、Palantir和SpaceX组成的小组正在构建指挥控制软件本身。SpaceX还于5月赢得了一份价值22.9亿美元的太空军合同，用于“金穹顶”骨干网建设。
Google and the Pentagon A separate group that includes Anduril, Palantir and SpaceX is building the command-and-control software itself. SpaceX also won a $2.29bn Space Force contract in May for the Golden Dome backbone.
彭博社报道，这将是Google首次公开已知参与“金穹顶”计划的工作。2018年，数千名Google员工抗议“Maven项目”（一项五角大楼AI合同），随后Google未续签该合同。
A role would be Google’s first publicly known work on Golden Dome, Bloomberg reported. In 2018, thousands of Google employees protested against Project Maven, a Pentagon AI contract, and Google did not renew it.
4月，谷歌与五角大楼签署了一项机密人工智能协议。随后，谷歌DeepMind的英国员工投票决定成立工会，98%的人投了赞成票。
In April, Google signed a classified AI deal with the Pentagon. Google DeepMind’s UK staff then voted to unionise, with 98% in favour.
