"Project Maven" is the DARPA boondoggle by which Google has become a defense contractor (the one that has gotten some press because a dozen or so Google employees recently resigned over it).It's a gigantic boondoggle, so it's not clear what all falls under its umbrella, but it sounds like something like, "We have collected so much data with our Cybers, why can't I hold all these limes? Maybe rub some of that AI or the Neurals onto it??"
Which probably translates to, "Take your ad-targetting snake-oil and repurpose it to execute brown people with drones". You know, kind of like how Wehrner von Braun aimed for the stars, but mostly hit London.

Exhibit B of that “why can’t I hold all these limes?” page reminds me of a Peaches show last year. Before the show started I joked “Bet she’s got 3 boobs” to my wife. Sure enough about 30 minutes into the set she takes her top off to reveal ... 5 boobs.
The firm I work for also employs some of the leading AI Research Scientists. But to the best of my knowledge, our CEO has kept it confined having it learn executives and senior executives something or other.
