Bobbie Johnson
and
Gideon Lichfield, MIT Technology Review; Hey Google, sorry you lost your ethics council, so we made one for you
"Well, that didn’t take long. After little more than a week, Google backtracked
on creating its Advanced Technology External Advisory Council, or
ATEAC—a committee meant to give the company guidance on how to ethically
develop new technologies such as AI. The inclusion of the Heritage
Foundation's president, Kay Coles James, on the council caused an
outcry over her anti-environmentalist, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-immigrant views, and led nearly 2,500 Google employees to sign a petition for her removal. Instead, the internet giant simply decided to shut down the whole thing.
How did things go so wrong? And can Google put them right? We got a
dozen experts in AI, technology, and ethics to tell us where the company
lost its way and what it might do next. If these people had been on
ATEAC, the story might have had a different outcome."
