Meredith Whittaker, a Google research scientist who was one of the organizers of the giant Google employee walkout last year, has left the company. A Google software engineer tweeted about her departure. It was later confirmed to Bloomberg by a Google spokeswoman. Whittaker previously said she'd suffered retaliation from the company after speaking out against its disastrous AI ethics board. She is now the second Google Walkout organizer to have left in the space of little more than a month.
