Google CEO Sundar Pichai has apologised for how a prominent artificial intelligence researcher's abrupt departure last week has 바카라seeded doubts바카라 in the company.
Pichai told Google employees in a Wednesday memo obtained by Axios that the tech company is beginning a review of the circumstances leading up to Black computer scientist Timnit Gebru's exit and how Google could have 바카라led a more respectful process.바카라
Gebru, a top scholar in the field of AI ethics, said she was fired last week. Google has referred to it as a resignation.
Pichai's note doesn't call it either a firing or a resignation but says "we need to accept responsibility for the fact that a prominent Black, female leader with immense talent left Google unhappily."
The dispute centred around Google's push to disassociate itself from a research paper Gebru co-authored examining the societal dangers of an AI technology used by Google.
Gebru criticised Pichai's memo Wednesday on Twitter, saying she saw 바카라no plans for accountability바카라 in it and because it offered no apology for what happened to her.
Thousands of people, many of them Google employees, have signed an open letter showing support for Gebru and accusing Google of 바카라unprecedented research censorship,바카라 racism and defensiveness.
