One of the leaders of last year’s mass protests at Google has left the company, underlining a deepening rift between management and workers over issues ranging from sexual harassment to the potential risks of artificial intelligence.

Meredith Whittaker, an artificial intelligence researcher, said she had left to work full time on AI ethics and to focus on “organizing for an accountable tech industry — and it’s clear Google isn’t a place where I can continue this work.”walkouts of workers around the worldThe protests followed a New York Times report revealing that the company had hidden the reasons for the departure of two top executives, one of whom, Android creator Andy Rubin, left with a large payout.

The internal tensions first boiled over publicly in 2017 after a conservative employee posted controversial comments saying women are less well suited to become engineers than men, prompting an uproar from other workers. Right-wing critics said his later dismissal showed executives had caved to worker activism.

Whittaker said she was worried about the way Google’s strong position in AI was carrying it into new markets, including healthcare, city development and governance, and transport. Whittaker, who co-founded a research group at New York University called the AI Now Institute to study the effects of AI, said she was leaving to work there full time. She also called on Google workers to become more organized, including unionizing, in order to take greater control of decision making at the company.

'Google is not a patriotic company,' says co-founder of data-mining company PalantirJoe Lonsdale says his fellow Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel was 'courageous' for speaking out against Alphabet's Google. 'Companies' aren't ever patriotic. If someone is claiming their company is, they're lying. Just the thought is idiotic. Palantir is not patriotic either, no for profit is or should be, but it also should not abuse the laws and ethics But is it a fraudulent company? Because they do sell this 💩 to investors as ownership instruments.
