Google fired AI ethics researcher Timnit Gebru, who studies the effects of AI systems, after she refused to retract a paper when ordered to by management.

The paper draws negative conclusions about Google's textual machine learning.

Google claims there are flaws in her paper, but criticizing a scientist's research paper is a job for other scientists (mostly not from the same company), not for per managers.

I support the three demands made in the letter that defends her.

It may well be that Google's working environment manifests racism and sexism, which I disapprove of. But I don't think that is what this wrong is about. I don't think that Google made this demand because of her gender or her skin color.

Rather, it seems that Google is attempting to suppress the truth.
