Title: Corrections: July 22, 2023 and the Magazine
An article published on July 22, 2023, regarding Wikipedia and artificial intelligence requires some clarifications. In the article, there was an imprecise reference to Margaret Mitchell’s statements regarding her termination from Google. Mitchell stated that she was fired for criticizing how the company treated colleagues working on bias in A.I., rather than criticizing the direction of its work.
Moving on to the obituaries section, there were a couple of errors in the published obituaries. In the obituary of historian Martha Saxton, the town in Connecticut where she lived was misidentified as Norwalk. The correct town is Norfolk.
Additionally, an error occurred in the obituary of gay rights activist Lilli Vincenz. The location of the Walter Reed military hospital was mistakenly mentioned as Bethesda, Md., where it is currently situated. Vincenz actually trained as a neuropsychiatric technician at the Walter Reed military hospital in Washington in the early 1960s.
