Default Deepmind rubbish at spotting sexual harassment

In this case it is a human problem

It is starting to look like the humans behind AI are worse than the actual technology as a former DeepMind employee has blasted the AI lab for being “grossly inadequate" in dealing with internal sexual harassment.

The ex-staffer told the Financial Times that the outfit covers itself with NDAs that prevent victims from speaking out.

The ex-staffer said she was subjected to "severely disturbing sexual and behavioural harassment," and received emails and texts that contained "explicit confessions of acts of sexual violence against women, and threats of self-harm," from a senior researcher.

A senior researcher alluded to having had sex with colleagues at work, and having had visited sex workers during office hours.

The staffer drafted and submitted a six-page internal complaint in 2019. Yet, even with evidence of this abuse, management at DeepMind did not resolve the situation until almost a year later.
