> Google cancels AI Ethics Board due to employee outcry over conservative member
This title has been altered. The article's title is "Google Scraps Its AI Ethics Board Less Than Two Weeks After Launch In The Wake Of Employee Protest", and the person in question is being shunned for "anti-LGBTQ views and stance on immigration", not for being a conservative.
It has also already been discussed to death at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19578043 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19578043
- drak0n1c 8y agoThanks for the link to prior discussion. I missed that yesterday. I modified the title since the original was over the character limit.
- pard68 8y agoThanks. This is stupid because a) "anti-LGBT" just means "not actively supporting" and b) this has no bearing on AI. Wish we could rewind even five years to when you did not have to be in lock step with the DNC to have job security.
