Here is the article https://www.cmswire.com/customer-experience/microsoft-cuts-ai-ethics-and-society-team-as-part-of-layoffs/amp/ Seems pretty sketchy to me but I see a lot of different opinions on AI ethics as a job position. How is it not a good idea to have a team trying to keep AI ethical?? Fiscally I can see it being a burden but socially it seems necessary.... Idk I wanted to get y'alls opinion TC: 135k #tech #AI #Microsoft
Corporate bloat needs to be removed.
They must be the ones stopping AI in Microsoft so far
Useless position. Chinese tech companies won't have roles like this to slow them down
All these fluffy non-engineering positions are in jeopardy. They exist for fat times not lean times.
Doesn’t generative ai in theory solve this by itself?
Non-essential teams are getting cut everywhere in tech
Good riddance. Cut the dead weight.
Everyone has there own definition of ethics anyways
This comment is overvalued.
There is still a centrally managed AI ethics team that was not cut at all.
Isn’t this because OpenAI already has their own team doing this? What would the internal MS team do that OpenAI wouldn’t?

Man look at the google ai ethics team. Just sh*tting on the company in public all day. You can get bad PR for free in Silicon Valley. In fact, most of the folks they were paying to sh*t on them in public are going to keep on doing it for nothing.
Most of the AI ethics teams are anyway filled with DEI bullshitters whose whole purpose is to make AI woke.
Woke this woke that. Stfu
