Dozens of Stanford grads walk out on Google CEO's speech.
I imagine the CEO forgot to mention "do no evil."
Dozens of students walked out of their Stanford University graduation ceremony as Google CEO Sundar Pichai took the stage to deliver a keynote address.
Video filmed by the BBC shows the students protesting against the company's controversial work with the US government. One sign read "ICE spies with Google AI".
This follows other recent campus protests against tech leaders, but those have largely focused on artificial intelligence and concerns about jobs.
