Google says it is dissolving its week-old AI ethics board, following controversy over several of the board members
brief post http://continuations.com/... http://twitter.com/... @techreview : (2/2) “We'll continue to be responsible in our work on the important issues that AI raises, and will find different ways of getting outside opinions on these topics,” the Google spokesperson continued. http://www.vox.com/... Derrick Johnson / @derricknaacp : .@Google has rightfully cancelled its AI ethics board due to public outcry against its appointments. @NAACP knows collective action works. Ethics & governance cannot and will not be swept aside. http://www.vox.com/... Dylan Matthews / @dylanmatt : Btw DeepMind — the Alphabet subsidiary that's made a StarCraft bot exhibiting human-like war strategy abilities — has no public ethics board, only a secret ethics board they assure us is on the level. Very cool and good and normal http://www.vox.com/... Luciano Floridi / @floridi : Why I have accepted the invitation to advise Google about the ethical challenges posed by AI http://www.facebook.com/... @ohmdee : Busy week for the Google Graveyard! http://twitter.com/... Matthew Garrett / @mjg59 : This just seems like an entirely unforced fuckup? http://www.vox.com/... Soraya Chemaly / @schemaly : After a handful of days, Google cancels AI ethics board in response to outcry over list of people comprising it https://www.vox.com/... Kelsey Piper / @kelseytuoc : Google has cancelled their AI ethics panel in response to public outcry http://www.vox.com/... Joshua Brustein / @joshuabrustein : Google's AI controversy has an easy solution: move Kay Coles James from its AI ethics board to its board on ethics in video game journalism. Grady Booch / @grady_booch : Luciano, with respect, had I been invited to the board, knowing what I know now about the makeup of the board as well as realizing now that the group seem to have no authority... I would resign. http://twitter.com/...
