Meta AI adviser spreads disinformation about shootings, vaccines and trans people
"It seems your piece is an attempted hit job meant to punish Meta for working with me on AI fairness. Nothing I've said has been on behalf of Meta they work with people from every political background."
"My role is simple: work to make AI fair for everyone, regardless of their views. That's a goal anyone who believes in fairness should support. What you're really trying here looks like cancel culture and activism dressed up as journalism, and I won't cower for holding the same views as the political party that won the popular vote less than a year ago in America."
"It is appalling that Robby Starbuck was given a hand in Meta operations in any capacity. He peddles lies and pushes extremism, and it is hard to believe any of this will help make their platforms safer or bette"
Meta appointed Robby Starbuck, 36, of Nashville, as an adviser on AI bias in August under a lawsuit settlement. Since the appointment, he has repeatedly spread disinformation about shootings, transgender people, vaccines, crime, and protests. He has baselessly claimed individual US shooters were motivated by leftist ideology, described faith-based protest groups as communists, and tied Democratic lawmakers to murders without evidence. His online posts have not changed in tenor, and his Trump-administration connections raise questions about corporate America’s capitulation to the MAGA movement. Starbuck defended his role as working to make AI fair and accused critics of cancel culture.
