Respect to Timnit Gebru for having tried but I don't think it could ever work.

1. Google profits (massively) from AI.

2. Google founds a research team for ethics in AI.

How on earth could 2. be independent research? It's like a tobacco company funding research into the health effects of tobacco. I can't see it as anything other than a PR move and maybe also trying to steer the ethics research into directions that don't hurt 1.
