I was disappointed to find out that AI ethicists at Google aren't LessWrong style AI ethicists. I've just read one Google AI ethics paper in it's entirety but it seemed pretty non-insightful and not actionable.

That said, if Google is "investigating" her because she was trying to find evidence of discrimination or bad treatment of Dr. Gebru, that seems borderline criminal behavior. (Assuming her attempts at trying to find evidence did not involve exfiltrating secret information).

https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/12/04/1013294/google-a... is a summary of the paper that started it, full of actionable points – and co-authored with Emily Bender, no less!

Also, if you're into the LessWrong mindset and are susceptible to think that that which can be destroyed by the truth should be, you might find this tidbit interesting:
