Now, this happened to be a student from a very large, well-known Chinese school that I was shocked to hear that they thought this was justifiable behavior there.

Most, let me just be very clear, most Chinese who I know are extremely honest and morally upright.

I hope this is an exception.

Thanks for the good talk and uncovering the bad practices in AI research and to raise awareness to preserve the reputation of this community as a whole.

But just throughout the presentation, I noticed that there was only one slide where you explicitly mentioned the nationality of the researcher.

That's about the Chinese students.

But you also put a note that most of the Chinese students you met are honest and upright.

So, I just have this question.

Is it because most of the Chinese students are very good, which caused the fact that whenever you notice one or two bad people, that nationality especially caught your attention there?

Because there are other bad practices you mentioned, but they didn't mention the nationality there.

Yeah.

I hope that's true.

I hope that's true.

Let me clarify on that one.

That was not based on my judgment.

That was based on the student's quote saying that the school was not teaching it, which meant that it applied to a lot of people from there.

I have not seen that.

I put what I have seen, which is all the Chinese people I've worked with have, with actually the one exception I mentioned, have been wonderful.

So, I'm very happy, pro, and maybe that's it.

Maybe this one, maybe their comment was who knows what.

I hope it was an outlier.

Yeah.

Thanks for that clarification.

I think that's also probably showing that the students are upright and honest so that they give you this reflection.

But still, I personally, as a Chinese, find that a bit offensive because that's the only place where you explicitly mention nationality, although you've mentioned a lot of bad practices.

I think it's important that we preserve a good reputation outside this community, but within this community, we also raise awareness on unconscious bias and probably this racist problem.

I hope in the future, if you present this again, you can remove that nationality note because that seems unfair for this special group of people.

Thank you so much for speaking up about that, and I think I will take your advice and remove it.
