1,500 Google employees demand answer over researcher's alleged firing
Over 1,500 Google employees have signed a petition against AI researcher Timnit Gebru's alleged firing and demanded an explanation for censorship of Gebru's research paper. Gebru was allegedly fired after she sent an email to her colleagues discussing the censorship by Google. The petition said Gebru has faced "defensiveness, racism, gaslighting, research censorship, and now a retaliatory firing".
