Earlier, Google published a research paper in the journal Nature, arguing that computers using artificial intelligence technology will be able to design new processors faster than the human brain, thereby accelerating the pace of processor updates. However, Satrajit Chatterjee and his team later questioned that the company’s publication of the paper did not appear to have been fully verified.
In 2020, the improper dismissal of artificial intelligence expert Timnit Gebru caused dissatisfaction among employees, and the subsequent dismissal of Margaret Mitchell, who jointly promoted the ethics of artificial intelligence technology, also caused market attention for violating the company’s code of conduct. Earlier, Google fired another artificial intelligence technologist, Satrajit Chatterjee, for what appeared to be related to questioning the company’s previous research paper on using artificial intelligence to make processors.

However, Satrajit Chatterjee and his team later questioned that the company’s publication of the paper did not appear to have been fully verified.
In a follow-up external statement, Zoubin Ghahramani, vice president of Google Research, replied to The Times, saying that after re-examining the papers published in the journal Nature, they believed that they were in line with the peer review results, and Emphasize that Satrajit Chatterjee’s claims are not consistent with the principles of the company’s internal publishing procedures.
The superhuman claims were made in a Nature paper last year. Google said rebuttal paper didn』t meet its standards. One of Nature paper』s authors said fired researcher harassed her and impugned the work. The fired researcher』s lawyer said he was maintaining scientific integrity.

However, Google did not give further explanation in the follow-up, and Satrajit Chatterjee did not respond to this, but this issue may be escalated to CEO Sundar Pichai and Alphabet’s board of directors for follow-up processing.
However, from the previous dismissal of two artificial intelligence technical experts, the market speculated that Google’s mentality in the application of artificial intelligence technology seems to pay more attention to the subsequent commercial interests, thereby eliminating the voices questioning this, and even focusing on the process of questioning. Whether it complies with the company’s code of conduct, which may allow artificial intelligence technology to be abused
In the current development, Google has applied a large amount of artificial intelligence technology to its services, and also expects that the importance of artificial intelligence technology will become more significant in the future, so many current developments will be based on artificial intelligence.
