(Hint: the "to make room for" was in quotes, because I think they should quit because of not wanting to sit on a conference organizing committee - which is typically volunteer work - that is not inclusive)
Answer to your question: No.
Do you also advocate that female professors of veterinary medicine quit their jobs and give them to men? https://t.co/7cKq0LRplT https://t.co/2fXrq9vonQ

Men, if you're ever on the organizing committee for a conference, and the committee is made up of all men, suggest that they invite some ladies to participate in organization. And if they say they don't want to add anyone, step down "to make room" for them to add women.

So, wait. AI makes “embarrassing and occasionally disastrous” errors when we ask it to surface information, but it’s OK for suppressing information? Isn’t the difference just that the first one has unavoidable public transparency, so we all know about the errors? https://t.co/Ao430a0G8W

I think Google’s voice could be quite influential in such debates and have a much broader impact. Alas, besides this leaked internal debate, the only loud voice they’re really giving off externally is Eric Schmidt’s hawkishness. Much more to be done.

This is why, if Google wants to be serious about ethics + AI, it should be involved in discussions of governing lethal autonomous weapons, etc. Not participating is insufficient if the goal is to make something not happen. https://t.co/3hyqGkAiXs

(from https://t.co/JCbduYt5eb) what does that even mean? Better ML for drone footage processing = 100x safer US troops? Umm

When Google pulls out of Project Maven, who is mostly likely to fill the void? My gut feeling is Amazon, since there seems to be little Amazon formally has qualms about, but maybe there's someone else interested in the gig.

In big shift: @Facebook kills trending topics to address "difficulty of relying on computers, even artificial intelligence, to make sense of the messy human world without committing obvious, sometimes embarrassing and occasionally disastrous errors." https://t.co/rqZTFK4C80
