The technical co-lead of Google’s Ethical Artificial Intelligence Team claims managers were upset about an email she’d sent to colleagues.
The email, which was sent to the Brain Women and Allies listserv, voiced frustration that managers were trying to get Gebru to retract a research paper. The full text was first published in Platformer. “A week before you go out on vacation, you see a meeting pop up at 4:30pm PST on your calendar,” it reads. “Then in that meeting your manager’s manager tells you ‘it has been decided’ that you need to retract this paper by next week... You are not worth having any conversations about this, since you are not someone whose humanity (let alone expertise recognized by journalists, governments, scientists, civic organizations such as the electronic frontiers foundation etc) is acknowledged or valued in this company.”
After the email went out, Gebru told managers that certain conditions had to be met in order for her to stay at the company. Otherwise, she would have to work on a transition plan.
Megan Kacholia, vice president of engineering at Google Research, said she could not meet the conditions and accepted Gebru’s resignation as a result, according to OneZero. Kacholia added, “However, we believe the end of your employment should happen faster than your email reflects because certain aspects of the email you sent last night to non-management employees in the brain group reflect behavior that is inconsistent with the expectations of a Google manager,” according to Gebru. On Twitter, she claimed the decision to fire her ultimately came from Google’s head of AI, Jeff Dean.

AI = Artificial Incompetence?
An SJW getting kicked out of Google is a good thing.
Talk about AI....
The risk department always goes first.
White chick fired black chick? At Google?! Hell, now I wanna read the paper she wrote that got her canned!
So, would this best be described as the electrified chair or the trap door above the shark tank disposal method?
Not white chick. Decision was made by Jeff Dean, head of AI. She’s one of these faux researchers responsible for tweaking algorithms for their ‘racist’ bias. But it isn’t just for race, it’s for every leftist cause.
She has intelligence that is artificial!
And yet I’m sure she happily supports and encourages cancel culture when it’s against people she dislikes.
I don’t think her “AI skillz” seem to be noteworthy either. Her research claim to fame is “finding” racial bias in image recognition - or basically criticizing. No real ground work in CREATING
I call AW... artifical woman.
Gebru is a very common Ethiopian name. It’s like “Smith” or “Jones” for them.
Interesting. Thank you.
She was born in Jigjiga, which could also pass for a Star Wars planet. Go find the Jedi Trainer Timnit Gebru on planet Jigjiga.
She set conditions to remain at Google. The company wouldn’t meet them. She’s gone. End of story.
Rat fight!!
Related to “Hebrew?” Lots of Jewish Ethiopians. Some even say the Ark of the Covenant is there.
Horn-of-Africa region: Ethiopian, Eritrean, Somali ...
She lost me when she wrote her email in second person singular present tense, “you” this and “you” that. If a person wants to relate events that have happened to her, she needs to use first person singular, past tense.
