Google workers reject company's account of AI researcher's exit as anger grows
Es geht weiter:
In a letter posted on Monday on Medium, Gebru’s colleagues disputed an executive’s claim that she had resigned and called internal research policies into question.
“Dr Gebru did not resign, despite what Jeff Dean (Senior Vice President and head of Google Research), has publicly stated,” the letter reads before going into detail about the events that led to Gebru’s dismissal.
...
In a statement issued on Friday, Dean reiterated the company’s position that Gebru had resigned and detailed the company’s research and review process, which he said required two weeks. Gebru’s paper, he said, was submitted a day before its deadline.
On Monday, Gebru’s team rejected his argument, arguing that close to half of all papers are submitted within a day or less notice. “So it is clear that this is a standard which was applied unevenly and discriminatorily,” they wrote in the letter.
The paper also received approval from Gebru’s manager, Samy Bengio, who said he was “stunned” by her dismissal in a public post on Facebook.
Margaret Mitchell, Gebru’s co-lead on the Google Ethical AI Team, also publicly came to her defense, posting rebuttals to each of Dean’s claims on why the paper was not up to internal standards and challenging the policy itself for leading to scientific censorship. “I believe that I am obligated to speak up when my employer publicly belittles me and/or my colleagues’ scholarship,” she wrote.
