Jeff Dean built an untouchable reputation as chief of AI at Google. Now, the backlash over a top researcher's exit has made him a target of protest.

Jeffrey Dean has an almost legendary status within Google. This week, the SVP found himself at the center of a company firestorm.

Reach out using a nonwork device.Just a week ago, Jeffrey Dean might have been the most popular executive at Google. By Friday, he was at the center of a firestorm that has shaken the company.

Gebru asked for further discussions over the paper, and said if Google wasn't able to provide an explanation then she would discuss her last day. A day later he shared that memo on Twitter – marking the first time Google publicly addressed Gebru's termination – adding a longer explanation as to why the paper was blocked. The research, he said, had "important gaps" that meant Google was uncomfortable putting its name on it.

Dean did, however, reference the "marginalizing voices" email Gebru had sent to the Women and Allies group earlier in the week, which management had used to justify an expedited dismissal.
