And from what I have seen her express, she wanted to use her presence to push an activist agenda.
Google is pretty woke already so while she might be right, she used and benefitted from that too.
This sounds like a non-event to me.
- s1k3s 6y agoSame. The whole "Google will pay me as long as I do what they say" has nothing to do with equality, it's how things work. Pushing this so hard in the media screams "I want attention and favouritism" for my activism. Good for her for speaking up, and good for Google for protecting their business, I guess.
- HelloMcFly 6y agoPersonally, I want someone with an activist mindset doing research in ethics in AI. There's too much passivity and techno-worship in AI already. I don't extend this to every domain of work or technology, but I want someone who is committed to not institutionalizing the same biases in technology that are already institutionalized in society. Maybe that makes me too "woke" or whatever from the libertarian segment of HN.
- ThomPete 6y agoThats not a healthy bias to do research based on given that the kind of research we are talking about comes down to interpretation of data. I dont care if people are woke its up to them, i do care if they have an activist agenda.
