Google has shuttered its new artificial intelligence ethics council, a little more than a week after announcing it and days after a swarm of employees demanded the removal of the president of a conservative think tank from the group

In a statement Thursday, Google told CNN Business that it has"become clear that in the current environment" the Advanced Technology External Advisory Council"can't function" as the company wanted."So we're ending the council and going back to the drawing board. We'll continue to be responsible in our work on the important issues that AI raises, and will find different ways of getting outside opinions on these topics," Google said.

And the group of Google employees pointed out several recent Twitter posts in which James criticized proposed federal legislation such as the Equality Act, which aims to halt discrimination based on gender identity, sex and sexual orientation. On Twitter, James called the bill"anything but equality" and said it would"open every female bathroom and sports team to biological males.

Hope their AI has more ethics than the people that work there

Out of 100,000 employees; how many is a swarm? Was is more than 0.1%?

Conservatives are oppressed and unfairly segregated in this society more than any other group in the country....

That should tell you all you need to know about them.

Google employees are brainwashed! Group think!

Inclusiveness is something democrats demand for themselves and refuse to extend to republicans

I see we have a lot of open minded folks working at Google. Not!

Leftist are so tolerant and accepting....

Google has become evil -- nothing but whores to the Chinese gov't.

What are they trying to hide ?

Trannies win again. Isn’t accepting a man having sex with a man and woman with woman enough. Why do we act like transgender isn’t the mental illness it is?

Yeah cause you wouldn’t want anyone with traditional values in the group to balance out the ethics of AI. Skynet people, skynet!!! 😂😂😂

Can't wait for them to destroy their own companies with this crap.

The Google employees just can't handle a different opinion! Typical liberal!!

State of economy is like business - can produce income or losses. Borderless Crooks spreading promises to pay for.. & repatriation in solicitation of votes to reach to power. How their business will provide? Nobody heard from Charlatans. When business with losses expenditure mute

Sure, Google or CNN wouldn't want and diversity of viewpoints.

Bunch of hyper woke 21 yr olds

What is a conservative think tank? Bible verses ?

That's good thing because like you know, Group think good. Orange man bad

Why would they want an African American woman out of the leadership role

So Google is sexist?

Damn you Trump!! Is this gonna be the new narrative?

Let’s scrap the AI all together before it ends us.

Google to pull plug on AI ethics councilAlphabet Inc's Google said on Thursday it was dissolving a council it had f... good news. I like about Google that they try things and sometimes hey cool adsense and sometimes, hey, you are a monopoly, tread with care. Did it tell you to Google ? Because who needs ethics when you have so much money? Rather than get rid of the two board members who may have had conflicts, Google abandoned the whole idea of examing the ethics of AI.
