Google scrubs mentions of ‘diversity’ and ‘equity’ from responsible AI team webpage


Google has quietly updated the webpage for its responsible AI team to scrub mentions of 'diversity' and 'equity.'

Google has quietly updated the webpage for its Responsible AI and Human Centered Technology (RAI-HCT) team, the team charged with conducting research into AI safety, fairness, and explainability, to scrub mentions of “diversity” and “equity.” A previous version of the page used language such as “marginalized communities,” “diverse,” “underrepresented groups,” and “equity” to describe the RAI-HCT team’s work. The changes, which were spotted by watchdog group The Midas Project, come after Google deleted similar language from its Startups Founders Fund grant website.
