When Gebru was 15, during the Eritrean–Ethiopian War, she fled Ethiopia after some of her family was deported to Eritrea and compelled to fight in the war. Her father, an electrical engineer with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), died when she was five years old, and she was reared by her mother, an economist. Gebru was born and reared in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She was named one of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders by Fortune and one of Nature's ten people who shaped science in 2021, and in 2022, one of Time's most influential people. Gebru has been recognized widely for her expertise in technology and artificial intelligence.
Google terminated her employment immediately, stating they were accepting her resignation. She requested insight into the decision, and warned that non-compliance would result in her negotiating her departure. Higher management had requested she withdraw an as-yet-unpublished paper or remove the names of all Google coauthors, and said that the paper ignored recent research. In December 2020, Gebru was the center of a public controversy stemming from her abrupt and contentious departure from Google as technical co-lead of the Ethical Artificial Intelligence Team. She is the founder of the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR). She is an advocate for diversity in technology and co-founder of Black in AI, a community of Black researchers working in artificial intelligence (AI). Timnit Gebru ( Amharic: ትምኒት ገብሩ born 1983/1984) is an American computer scientist who works on algorithmic bias and data mining.
