Google’s head of philanthropy says the company is having “a lot of conversations” internally amid worries about the tech giant’s bottomless appetite for consumer data and how it uses its algorithms.
The philanthropic arm she runs, Google.org, spends $100 million a year on nonprofit groups that use technology to try to counteract problems the tech world is accused of creating, abetting or exacerbating.But can Google’s do-good arm make up for everything else?“The company is having a lot of conversations around things like access to information and access to data and making sure there’s no algorithmic bias,” she said.
She also insisted that the company has a very “vibrant discussion” internally about sexual misconduct, human rights and other problems that have tarnished the reputation of Google, a division of Alphabet Inc.
