There is something to be said for Google saying they care about AI ethics & diversity, trying to say they're publishing in this area, highlighting a number of papers to prove their point, and seeing that the author list contains ZERO people from underrepresented racial groups.
No irony whatsoever that they were trying to gate keep people from underrepresented groups from publishing work that concerns their communities. I often talked about that internally--how their fairness initiatives *themselves* marginalized many. They had no racial literacy...
We even developed a set of principles: "nothing about us without us" the first time I heard this phrase was from people in the disability rights movement. We were so sick of these initiatives that exploited us we specifically wanted them to address this.
I suppose they decided the best way to do it is to actually get rid of the Black people?
