When Google acquired DeepMind part of the deal was that Google get's an ethics boards. The impression I got, was that the purpose of that board is that DeepMind doesn't evolve into a UFAI.
Jaan Tallinn who made his fortune in Skype is one of the big donors for MIRI and was also a huge investor in DeepMind. I would imagine that he and a few other people who are less public are responsible for demanding the board.
I think every MIRI workshop did include someone from Google.
Luke did write somewhere that MIRI got six-figures in it's lifetime from Google matching funds for employee donations.
On the other hand Google is a big corporation. "well aware" is not precise term when thinking about giant companies.
