Google researcher Timnit Gebru wrote a staff email about ‘marginalised voices’. Within days, she was ousted – SBS News
The dismissal has sparked a backlash against Google, with more than 3,300 names appearing on an online letter demanding an explanation.
More than 1,400 Google employees on Friday demanded that the tech giant explain why it dismissed a black artificial intelligence ethics researcher.
Timnit Gebru tweeted early in the week that Google told her a resignation she had not proffered was accepted, after she sent a message to an internal group lamenting the “silencing of marginalised voices.”
She had also told the “Brain Women and Allies” group in the email that she had been ordered to retract a research paper.
