2020-12-03 | Google’s co-lead of Ethical AI team says she was fired for sending an email – TechCrunch

'Timnit Gebru, a leading researcher and voice in the field of ethics and artificial intelligence, says Google fired her for an email she sent to her direct reports. '

'Gebru is a leading voice in the field of ethics and artificial intelligence. '

'Google declined to comment for this story but pointed to an internal email from Jeff Dean, Gebru’s boss. '

'According to Bloomberg, Gebru believes Google let her go to signal to other workers that it’s not ok to speak up. '

'Gebru says no one explicitly told her she was fired, but that she received an email from one of her boss’s reports, saying:“Thanks for making your conditions clear. '
