I read it as well (granted, I usually don’t, but I really wanted to understand it better); all I can gather is that she put something out there to other employees that the company wanted removed.

“Google Head of AI Jeff Dean, in an internal email, told staff that an internal team determined that Ms. Gebru’s most recent AI research was insufficiently rigorous. He also said she encouraged colleagues not to participate in Google’s diversity, equity and inclusion programs, and that he was disappointed about that.”

Ms. Gebru held skeptical views on artificial intelligence that were unusual inside Google, according to people who know her. She was an outspoken critic of tools used by law enforcement to predict and prevent crimes, having said she found that they discriminated against darker-skinned people. For example, she published widely disseminated research showing that facial recognition algorithms are more likely to misidentify people of color.

Ms. Gebru also said in her email that she hired attorneys last year who threatened legal action against Google. In the email, Ms. Gebru wrote that she received an “impact award” from Google the day after her lawyers contacted the company. “Pure gaslighting,” she wrote.
