Gebru Shares Statement on AI Pause Letter

Timnit Gebru posted a reply noting that the authors of the Stochastic Parrots paper had already issued a statement responding to the AI pause letter. The post directs readers to the DAIR Institute page containing that statement. The statement explains that harms from so-called AI are real and present. It attributes those harms to actions taken by specific people and corporations rather than to abstract technological forces. Gebru observed that writing such statements for each new letter requires repeated effort. The cluster centers on this public reference to the earlier response and the content of the linked statement itself.
