Why is Meta’s AI council made up entirely of white men? | TechCrunch Minute
Meta announced a new advisory group that’s supposed to help guide the company’s decision making around AI and other new tech. The group consists of four business executives, including Stripe co-founder and CEO Patrick Collison and Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke. Every single member of the council is a white man — which suggests a relatively…

I doubt that skin color was a factor in this … we are tired of this nonsense. Focus on the economic aspects and redistribution it’s affecting everyone regardless of their skin color … this is the liberal version of maga and it’s divisive. Do better!

Doesn’t have tech or scientific skills. I really can gone on and on 🧐. A. I will and has changed every aspect of our society and there needs to be as many versus voices at the table as possible and will include age as well. I will agree with you about one thing you said we do need to do better.😊

I fail to see how skin color has anything to do with this. Even Martin Luther King would turn in his grave hearing this.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
-Martin Luther King
Lastly, if the argument of avoiding diversity is going to be made, it’s best to do more research on the individuals and maybe suggest alternatives. The individuals there might be racist, which is a problem – or they might implement strategies to ensure ethics and diversity are in place (would be important to know). Regardless, this sweeping framework based on skin color is the problem, and most are tired of this shallow vanity metric and would like the real meat of the matter.

The group probably all have the same shared fantasy, so they bundled together to make it their reality.
Their names will never be the one credited in the research papers that progress AI but they sure will scheme to reap their results.

I read the article, and watched this. What a load of crap. Article written by a women of colour, a white woman with an Ivy league degree in English, and another gay man, to join the Asian gay man moaning in this video. Cry me a river.
“Algorithms trained on already discriminatory data only regurgitate the same biases that humans have trained them to adopt.”
I particularly enjoyed this part. If you all weren’t woke snowflakes having a moan about everything, this would’ve been a perfect place to make reference to Google’s (?) recent embarrassing AI where it just would not generate images of white people, even in clear historical context where the figures were white. But even though it kind of proves your point, it cuts both ways. Funny how that story disappeared pretty quickly from the news cycle huh?
Meta can appoint who they like assist in making business decisions. Having looked at the board in question, it does appear they’re quite qualified for that angle. They just happen to be white. It wasn’t a conscious decision to make them all white!
Where’s your criticism of other players? Does OpenAI get a pass cos they’ve got that chick? Microsoft cos they’ve got an Indian CEO? Ditto Google?
Unsubscribing from this channel and your newsletters. What a f*cking disgrace.

I’m more concerned in the lack of diversity in their careers – all very successful tech people – than their race or gender. If AI touches all aspects of industry and society as predicted, would be wise to include more voices from these different sectors. Not every single thing is about race and/or gender. It’s getting boring.

Why are 70.4% of NBA players Black? Blacks are only 12% of the U.S. population. Shouldn’t only 12% of NBA players be Black? Where’s the diversity? It seems there’s discrimination against Whites in the NBA. No it’s not discrimination. Players are chosen by their skills to play basket ball and win games. It just turns out that the majority of the best basket players are Black. There were 80 dancers in the 2023 Super Bowl Half Time show with Rihanna – not one of them was White, Asian or Latino. Are there no White, Asian, and Latino dancers? There are, but it’s just that the producers of the half time show wanted all Black dancers. Apparently “Diversity” only works one way. Why are Meta’s AI council made up entirely White men? Because the creators of that group found the best people they thought could properly advise them on AI… and those people just so happened to be White. When ever a discrimination is made based upon skin color – That’s discrimination. Sorry we can’t hire you.. you’re White… we are hiring only Black dancers.

I think its less about the race or that its men and the actual experience of men- how is the Stripe CEO with abysmal customer support ratings (see Trustpilot) going to help FB better use LLM for good? Shobpify CEO? Would have loved to have seen an biostatician steeped in gender/race/sex differences for purposes of early disease detection for example. This board is about drivinig transactions and consumerism rather than making meaningful contribution.
