COI edit request April 2024

Hi, this is Jessica Lee from Google DeepMind. As per Wikipedia’s policies, I recognise that I have a conflict of interest, so I would like to ask that the community review and consider a few minor changes to this page. My reason for requesting this is to highlight some factual inaccuracies and out-of-date information that I would suggest should now be edited for accuracy and to ensure this page remains up to date.

Please consider making the following edits:

Please change image to this one:

In introductory section:

Remove ‘and a member of the UK AI Council’. Lila is no longer a member. Source: AI Council - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Add ‘President and Chief Operations Officer at Coursera.’ Source: Welcoming Lila Ibrahim to Coursera - Coursera Blog

In Early Life and education section:

Lila is no longer on the board of advisors at Purdue University. Please replace the word ‘remains’ with ‘served’.

In Career section:

Remove “She was a keynote speaker at the 2016 Pioneer Summit, and the 2017 South by Southwest conference in Austin” - we are requesting this change because, while factual, it feels outdated given that Lila has spoken at numerous prestigious events and conferences since 2017 which are more relevant and recent. We are happy to provide examples if you are happy to update with more recent speaking engagements.

Remove: “where she is responsible for managing the company's growth” And replace with “oversees operations, responsibility and governance, and external work.” Source: Lila Ibrahim: The 100 Most Influential People in AI 2023 | TIME

In Accolades section please add the following accolades:

“In 2021, she was named a Distinguished Engineering Alumnae by Purdue University” Source: 2021 Distinguished Engineering Alumni/Alumnae - Our People - Purdue Engineering

@Bops184, found the image. It's got a licensing tag on it. The best choice for images is always to upload at Wikimedia Commons an image you've taken yourself and therefore hold copyright for. If you're set on that image, you can go to this page and follow the instructions for confirming copyright by email. I've replaced it for now, but there's a high likelihood someone will delete it if you don't provide licensing info. Valereee (talk) 13:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing our proposed edits Bops184 (talk) 10:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

@Bops184, you say I noticed that the previous content changes to the page was undone. I'm not sure which change you mean. I made a very large number of edits yesterday; you can look at the edit history and page through each of these edits one by one, or select my entire edit history yesterday and see all of the changes side by side. I tried to address all the concerns you raised. Which ones are you saying I didn't address?

In general, what we're looking for is discussion in WP:INDEPENDENT -- that is, unaffiliated -- sources. The Coursera blog is an affiliated source. Purdue is an affiliated source. We can use those for very simple noncontroversial facts. We also have to balance any appointments with their importance. If we don't have an article about the appointment or award, it may not be important enough to include. We don't really care whether she was a member of advisory board of her alma mater, for instance, unless someone is discussing it in an unaffiliated source.

I don't know what "Member of Council of Foreign Affairs" is. A simple URL to the website of the Council on Foreign Relations doesn't tell me anything. I even searched that website for her name and came up with nothing, and again unless that is a position of some importance, we may decide it's trivia and not to include it.

We have a link to COO in the article, that's really sufficient for the typical job duties. That kind of thing -- much of what you're asking for here, in fact -- goes on a resume or CV or LinkedIn; here we would only call out something unusual for the typical COO, such as her responsibility for managing AI risks.

Sourcing

Bops184, this entire article seems to be source primarily to affiliated sources. We need sources that are independent of the article subject. Valereee (talk) 13:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Valareee

Jessica here again from Google DeepMind. Just letting you know the licencing for the image uploaded has been confirmed, however. The image has not been re-uploaded.If possible please can you upload the image again to Lila Ibrahim's page. Bops184 (talk) 15:01, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, @Bops184, not sure what you're asking...is the image on Wikimedia Commons? Valereee (talk) 17:06, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

I have exported the image to Wikimedia Commons, please can you assist me in uploading the image back onto Lila Ibrahim's page. Ive tried doing this multiple times but it doesnt seem to upload. Bops184 (talk) 16:45, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

I've done so. Valereee (talk) 19:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

COI edit requests July 2024

Hi Valereee,

Jessica here from Google Deepmind once again.

Please can you kindly make changes to the below requests on behalf of Lila Ibrahim:

Some of them were addressed previously, and others were not due to being an affiliated source.

Personal Information section:

Please remove - reference to twin daughters.

In Early Life and education section:

Lila is no longer on the board of advisors at Purdue University. Please add this under the Career Section.

In Career section:

“where she is responsible for managing the company's growth” And replace with “oversees operations, responsibility and governance, and external work.” Source: Lila Ibrahim: The 100 Most Influential People in AI 2023 | TIME

Replace With:"In April 2018 Ibrahim was hired as the first Chief Operating Officer of DeepMind [12][13][1][7] (now Google DeepMind), where she oversees operations, responsibility and governance, and external work." Source: https://time.com/collection/time100-ai/6308968/lila-ibrahim/

Thank you for seeing to these changes.

Please let me know if there are any issues with these changes.

Kind Regards,

Jessica Lee 196.39.48.107 (talk) 06:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey, Jessica. Ibrahim has referenced her daughters multiple times in multiple interviews. She has been talking about them while discussing her thinking behind her business decisionmaking. Like, literally it would be reasonable if an editor wanted to add to the career section something like 'Ibrahim has said about AI “I have twin daughters...I kept thinking: Can I tuck them in at night?” ' There would be no reasonable argument not to do that. I'm kind of getting into weird territory here...has she decided she regrets ever mentioning her daughters and is never going to mention them anywhere she could be quoted ever again? Because I hate to include something that is now causing the family distress, if that's what's behind this request, but if she's going to keep mentioning them at conferences or in interviews or in provided bios, Wikipedia is going to include that.

I'd already removed the Purdue thing as probably not important, and I linked COO, which is sufficient to explain what a COO does without having to go into those details here. We've got the one unusual part of that job noted, the AI thing. Valereee (talk) 10:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
