YOU CAN’T TRUST GOOGLE: Google To Pull Plug On AI Ethics Council.

Alphabet Inc’s Google said on Thursday it was dissolving a council it had formed a week earlier to consider ethical issues around artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.

The council had run into controversy over two of its members, according to online news portal Vox, which first reported the dissolution of the council. . . . The Vox report said Google employees had signed a petition calling for the removal of one of the members over comments about transsexual people, and added that the inclusion of a drone company executive had raised debate over use of Google’s AI for military applications.

You can’t have an “ethics council” where people with traditional religious views are excluded and expect anyone to take you seriously. Google figured that out.
