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 narrow, blinkered view of who gets to have a say in the direction of AI at one of the biggest and most important tech companies in the world.

Focusing solely on race first is getting really old. Blah.

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.

It’s a private company, mind your business.

Because it's based in California. What's the make up of TSMC's board?

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!

This is nothing from what I've seen in Japan where there can be 30 council members and all of them being Japanese! That's crazy; this is crazy.

Lmao 🤣 this the more racist video I ever saw in YouTube

[noelpugh]

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.

Let’s not stoop down to what poor people and uneducated people are talking about .. do your duty and stay to your own kind and control the world

[changeme]

If you “dinosaur” won’t point out it wouldn’t be a race problem and From this video it also proves this channel is biased and racist.. I’m definitely unsubscribing!
