About Google's approach to research publication

Until now, nobody on my previous team at Google had to have their papers reviewed internally for scientific rigour either.

(We have a publication approval process, but its purpose is to prevent IP leaks and maybe shield liability, not uphold scientific rigour standards)

I've seen Urs reject papers out of Tech Infra that he thought were not interesting enough

This is the AI Ethics team in a company betting their future on AI.

They know they have a bubbling ethics problem and they've screwed over their best chance to do anything other than completely fuck it up.

In history, this will be a wtf double facepalm moment.

Technically you can submit it without pubapprove unless somebody rats you out and you might face some repercussions. Otherwise every paper is supposed to go through AI Ethics committee review along with other types of reviews.
