David Sumpter
Contributed the entire Chapter 12, "Ethics in Machine Learning", to lindholm-machine-learning-first-course, per its acknowledgements, alongside feedback from teaching with the material. Discovered while ingesting that book.
His chapter is the reason this spoke holds a T1 statement of a claim it had only been able to infer: that machine-learning research by large companies functions partly as advertising, so published performance claims carry a commercial incentive to overstate. §12.2 argues it with named cases rather than in the abstract.
Nothing else about him is evidenced here.
