Many Google employees and others in the tech community are furious over the sudden exit from Google of a pioneer in the study of ethics in artificial intelligence—a departure they see as a failure by Google to foster an environment supportive of diversity

Timnit Gebru is known for her research into bias and inequality in AI, and in particular for a 2018 paper she coauthored with Joy Buolamwini that highlighted how poorly commercial facial-recognition software fared when attempting to classify women and people of color. Their work sparked widespread awareness of issues common in AI today, particularly when the technology is tasked with identifying anything about human beings.

The paper was reviewed internally, he wrote, but it"didn't meet our bar for publication." Dean added:"Unfortunately, this particular paper was only shared with a day's notice before its deadline — we require two weeks for this sort of review — and then instead of awaiting reviewer feedback, it was approved for submission and submitted." He said Gebru responded with demands that had to be met if she were to remain at Google.

Fake news obviously.

🤖😒Ça n’augure rien de bon

google being google degoogle

More virtue signaling from the left. However, I love when they eat their own.

Ancora non hanno visto nulla .se fra qualche anno Google andrà finire a mani sbagliate allora si che ci saranno problemi grossi di democrazia, etica e diritti di pensiero

We need to be able to disagree with one another without resorting to vilification, re-education, and restricting all things to woke meta-narratives.

That person looks like a fool. Probably a good move 👍🏼

That is one homely person... Is it sideshow Bob's sister

I think it's great she has been advocating for diversity and underrepresented communities in Google. But the separation seems to have caused by the paper in question and she hasn't countered Google's response that she gave them a day to review it as opposed the required 2 weeks.

Oh shit, here's comes the CANCEL brigade

Google is a massive corporate Democrat cesspool. Get rid of Section 230.

I have not used google for over 10 years.

She resigned. Probably important, but not important enough to put in the headline.

More Google employees either never heard of her or don't think so

Now Google is starting to delete your stuff in your Google accounts or charge you. Not happy with Google.
