Meta's new AI council is composed entirely of white men | TechCrunch

Women AI leaders remain overlooked in Big Tech

Juni 2023

Meta on Wednesday announced the creation of an AI advisory council with only white men on it. What else would we expect? Women and people of color have been speaking out for decades about being ignored and excluded from the world of artificial intelligence despite them being qualified and playing a key role in the evolution of this space.

Meta did not immediately respond to our request to comment about the diversity of the advisory board.

It's telling that the AI advisory council is composed entirely of businesspeople and entrepreneurs, not ethicists or anyone with an academic or deep research background. It's a risky business, and the consequences of getting it wrong can be far-reaching, particularly for marginalized groups.
