That interpretation seems tenuous. The sentence in which "pushed" is used:

The DeepMind-Google ethics board, which DeepMind pushed for, will devise rules for how Google can and can't use the technology.

suggests nothing more than that the proposal originated with DeepMind. I may as well imagine that Google's apparent amenability to the arrangement augurs well.
