Google Splits Up a Key AI Ethics Watchdog


A crucial team at Google that reviewed new AI products for compliance with its rules for responsible AI development faces an uncertain future after its leader departed this month.

Gennai’s LinkedIn profile lists her as an AI ethics and compliance advisor at Google as of this month, which sources say suggests she will soon leave based on how past departures from the company played out.
