Twitter adds former Google VP and A.I. guru Fei-Fei Li to board as it seeks to play catch up with Google and Facebook
Twitter has been relatively slow off the mark in the AI race. Recently it has appointed Stanford professor and former Google vice president Fei-Fei Li to its board as an independent director.
Fei-Fei Li was chief of AI at Google Cloud up until October 2018 when she left as a result of leaked emails relating to the controversial Project Maven project which saw Google AI used to identify drone targets from blurry drone video footage.
The project was objected by many Google employees and a petition with around 4000 signatures was later submitted to call for a clear policy that states Google nor its contractors will ever build warfare technology again.
A leaked email suggested Li was more concerned about how the project would affect Google’s public image instead of the ethics of the project.
Today Twitter uses AI technology to recommend tweets to its users and identify racist content, hate speech, or content from extremist groups. The company hopes that Li, one of the most respected AI leaders in the industry, could attract more top AI talents.
