> After her departure, Gebru founded Dair, the Distributed AI Research Institute, to which she now devotes her working time. “We have people in the US and the EU, and in Africa,” she says. “We have social scientists, computer scientists, engineers, refugee advocates, labour organisers, activists … it’s a mix of people.”

- revelio 3y agoAmazing that these people don't even pretend. Refugee advocates and labour organisers have what to do with AI research? Nothing? Like La Sombrita and how the attempt to design a bus stop somehow became connected to female empowerment. The left asks for money to do X and then happily and very publicly spend it their usual ideological goals, even though they have nothing to do with X. Wonder when this crosses the line and becomes some sort of fraud. Did they tell people they'd spend grants on AI research? A lot of their stuff seems very close to political advocacy and lobbying. They flat out state they hired activists and advocates. A 501c3 is supposed to have tight controls on political operations though.
