Maybe the author does not know that 2019 is barely 3 months in? There is no way that the phrase "over the course of a year" can apply to 2019. It is bullshit like this that makes me tune out of such articles. It's just dripping with uninformed bias.

If you put the first quote in context, it would be clear that they were consistent. > The board, founded to guide “responsible development of AI” at Google, would have had eight members and met four times over the course of 2019 to consider concerns about Google’s AI program. It's saying that it would have met four times over the year, not that it already has.
