2.3 Researcher stops his work due to ethical concerns

Joe Redmon, the creator of You Only Look Once (YOLO) with a huge impact on modern object detection stopped doing any computer vision research due to ethical concerns.

This is huge.

The creator of the YOLO algorithms, which (along with SSD) set much of the path of modern object detection, has stopped doing any computer vision research due to ethical concerns.

I've never seen anything quite like this before. https://t.co/jzu1p4my5V
