After Google canceled ATEAC, we got a dozen experts in tech ethics to give advice on what it should do next. It's a little cheeky to call them our own AI ethics council, but still—if Google had consulted them instead, it wouldn't be in this mess technologyreview.com/s/61328…

This is a huge multinational corporation having the honest discussion it ought to have had after Trump was elected. Breitbart may frame it as nefarious, but it’s actually lovely and admirable. Worth watching a few minutes of this. breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/1…

Yeah, this was a political issue with Germany, who refused to take him for over a decade. If ICE was really able to determine if a Nazi could or couldn't stay in the US, why did they prioritize deporting all those parents and children over him?
. @Ocasio2018 wants to abolish ICE. Today ICE deported an actual Nazi from her congressional district in Queens.
