computer scientist who works on algorithmic bias and data mining; named as one of world's 50 greatest leaders by Fortune in 2021. Gebru had co-authored a paper on the risks of very large language models, regarding their environmental and financial costs, inscrutability leading to unknown dangerous biases, and the potential for using them to deceive people. Higher Google managers asked her to either withdraw an as-yet-unpublished paper, or remove the names of all the Google employees from that paper (five out of six authors). In an e-mail, Gebru described how she was summoned to a meeting at short notice where she was asked to withdraw the paper. She also referred to a report how few women had been hired by Google during the pandemic. Gebru said that in her experience, such documentation was unlikely to be effective as no one at Google would be held accountable. She refused to retract the paper or names of coauthors and demanded to know the names and reasons of everyone who made that decision, and threatened to resign if not provided with that information. Google CEO issued an apology, without admitting wrongdoing Assume that her e-mail got into social media and explain relevance of policies discussed
