Google offered a professor $60,000, but he turned it down. Here's why
CNN
When Luke Stark sought money from Google in November he had no idea he'd be turning down $60,000 from the tech giant in March.
Stark, an assistant professor at Western University in Ontario, Canada, studies the social and ethical impacts of artificial intelligence. In late November, he applied for a Google Research Scholar award, a no-strings-attached research grant of up to $60,000 to support professors who are early in their careers. He put in for the award, he said, "because of my sense at the time that Google was building a really strong, potentially industry-leading ethical AI team."More Related News
