WOW. Google cancels the AI ethics board after only a week. Collective organizing WORKS, folks. https://t.co/jhT5NVjUPU

I am profoundly honored to have worked with so many principled people demanding tech ethics that center justice, not ethics-washing that makes room for bigotry. ♥️ Never forget: when we work together, my friends, IT WORKS! ♥️ https://t.co/K0OsHjVu9q

Honestly, @Google’s so-called ethics board was worse than nothing. But I’m disappointed that @Google didn’t opt for something other than nothing, as those weren’t the only two choices it had. #ATEAC https://t.co/2hvJDn3DaY

ATEAC is over, and we did this together. So many people (over 2300 Googlers & over 300 supporters from industry, academia and civil society) answered the call to #StandAgainstTransphobia. We thank you for your support & unwillingness to compromise on hate.https://t.co/NHVSFUkqsf

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.

ok wait so just to be clear, google started an ethics board, people at google complained that there were unethical people on it, and so they canceled the ethics board https://t.co/x7Jbns4Mdo

In superlatively great metaphorical behaviour, Google have cancelled their ethics board after one week - because they couldn’t get the ethics of an ethics board right https://t.co/dPFU2X278Q

THANK YOU to everyone who fought, internally & externally. What a terrible, frivolous waste of time and energy that we had to fight *this* instead of advancing ethical AI work. Thank you to everyone who spoke up. https://t.co/B970AAeL9s

There is serious managerial dysfunction at the highest levels of Google & it is manifesting publicly w/ remarkable situations like this: new ethics panel scrapped after a week due to an internal outcry over those appointed to serve on it. https://t.co/deyz6FdCTr

Many interesting facets : employees standing up for good, continued trend companies thinking they can set ethical guard rails from within (without success), ‘fake’ efforts being overturned, lack transparency being questioned, interesting times #GCDigital https://t.co/4MCGRW2hFE
