    AFTER a tumultuous acquisition process, Elon Musk has acquired Twitter. This kick-started a wave of lay-offs within the company, with its ethical artificial intelligence (AI) team not spared either. In essence, Twitter’s team that was in charge of their machine learning (ML) ethics, transparency and accountability within the AI space is now gone.
