Dr. Mitchell said on Friday evening that she would soon have a public comment. Dr. Mitchell’s post on Twitter comes less than two months after Timnit Gebru, the other leader of the Ethical A.I. team at Google, said that she had been fired by the company after criticizing its approach to minority hiring as well as its approach to bias in A.I. In the wake of Dr. Gebru’s departure from the company, Dr. Mitchell strongly and publicly criticized Google’s stance on the matter. More than a month ago, Dr. Mitchell said that she had been locked out of her work accounts.
