After Google shut down its AI ethics council in early April, Whittaker was told her position would be "changed dramatically," she wrote in a message sent to several internal Google mailing lists, according to Wired. If she wanted to say at the company, Whittaker would have to give up her work on AI ethics, as well as her job at the AI Now Institute at New York University, a research center she cofounded, the magazine said.

Two months after the walkout, Stapleton was told she was being demoted from her role and would lose half of her reports, she reportedly wrote in the email. She brought the issue up with human resources and faced more retaliation, according to Wired.
