No shit
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The allegation emerges from a complaint [PDF] accusing the tech and retail mega-corp of demoting, and then dismissing, a former high-flying AI scientist after it discovered she was pregnant.
According to Ghaderi’s account in the complaint, she returned to work after giving birth in January 2023, inheriting a large language model project.
Part of her role was flagging violations of Amazon’s internal copyright policies and escalating these concerns to the in-house legal team.
In March 2023, the filing claims, her team director, Andrey Styskin, challenged Ghaderi to understand why Amazon was not meeting its goals on Alexa search quality.
A German-born doctor of electrical engineering, Ghaderi also made a series of allegations relating to her treatment by Amazon following the disclosure of her pregnancy.
The filing continues that she subsequently requested to be moved to another team, but, allegedly, her line manager said because she was on the Focus plan she was ineligible for a transfer.
