Google researchers demand freedom to speak publicly about AI

Original: Google researchers demand freedom to tell the world what they know about AI

Researchers at Google and Google DeepMind are protesting company policies that restrict them from publicly discussing what they know about AI, with reports of staff facing retaliation including lifetime bans for criticizing the company. The workers are demanding the freedom to share their knowledge about AI risks and development with the public and regulators.

Why now: Ongoing tension between AI researchers' calls for transparency about AI risks and corporate restrictions on public speech has drawn wide attention.
