A few days ago, organisations and people whose work I appreciate were called out as being harmful and plagiarizing. I'm particularly grateful to @SmithaKhorana @_jenlowe_ and @theodorajewell for speaking publicly.
I believe you, and I stand in solidarity with everyone affected. What @JordanBHarrod said ⤵️.
I want to acknowledge my solidarity publicly. (I’ve experienced my share of toxicity in academia and know how power differentials, invisibility + unaccountable institutions exacerbate its impact on early career researchers.)

If a company cannot even pretend to care about its internal "Ethical AI" co-leader, how much do you think they care about the rest of us?

In the wake of Google's outing of @timnitgebru, my two cents on #AIethics #BigTech #IStandWithTimnit: annajobin.medium.com/why-dr-timnit-… I see @MiaD reached the same conclusion, expressing it much more eloquently:

"Gebru and others are the last line of defense in our quest for ethical and inclusive tech. If we don’t stand up for them now, soon there will be no one left to fight for us."

🚨 NOW OUT 🚨
"The global landscape of AI ethics guidelines"

Our peer-reviewed paper (w\ @MarcelloIenca & @EffyVayena) has just been published by @NatMachIntell. We analyzed 84 systematically retrieved AI principles/guidelines for “ethical AI”. 1/n

➡️nature.com/articles/s4225… @MarcelloIenca @EffyVayena @NatMachIntell We found 11 ethical principles referenced overall. Only five of them are common to more than half of our sources: transparency, justice & fairness, non-maleficence, responsibility, and privacy. Solidarity, human dignity, and sustainability are significantly underrepresented. 2/n
