After internal chaos earlier this month, OpenAI replaced the women on its board with men. As it plans to add more seats, Timnit Gebru, Sasha Luccioni, and other AI luminaries tell WIRED why they wouldn’t join.
how is the board ever supposed to get women if it needs women to ever get women on the board?
Let other members of the board go so there’s more seats.
COOL! Anyone who refuses to surround themselves with too many people of any identitarian group should never hold a position of power. It’s great that they rule themselves out.
Seems like the article is trying to combine two issues into one, the lack of representation of woman on OpenAI’s Board, and the concerns of some prominent AI researchers (who happen to be women) about OpenAI’s ambition and profitability above safety.
On the representation side, this seems like a chicken and egg problem where there won’t be any change in diversity if no one wants to make a move because the board isn’t already diverse enough.
And on the AI safety side, there won’t be any change unless someone sits on the board and pushes for safety proactively, instead of reactively through legislation.
I want to see all women companies. Honestly. I am so fed up with badly veilled sexism and descrimination.
Give us a company enterily staffed by women. We either get the most badass company ever created or we fall under the grasp of a witch coven.
But now that I think about it, currently we’re at the mercy of greedy fiends. Between witches and fiends, give me witches.
Hehe, this is why modern feminists are a joke, criticizing sexism while praising sexism.
