[…] of connecting people with digital content will continue to evolve as we embrace new applications such as machine learning and artificial intelligence where more content finds us, rather than our having to find the content. __________________ Now, as usual, it’s your […]
[…] the past few years. In addition to funding bioRxiv, CZI has acquired the startup Meta with the goal of developing artificial intelligence (AI) technology to plumb scientific and scholarly content to find new and helpful connections. CZI’s involvement in Meta is […]
[…] the Internet, it’s getting much harder to detect if you’re a dog. Defenders of open peer review systems argue that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will help scientists sniff out and expose fake preprint reviews. Indeed, AI software has already been implemented into peer […]
[…] Nature. Peer reviews, like letters of recommendation, are opinions. Discussions along these lines inevitably lead to suggestions that with improved artificial intelligence (AI), we’ll reduce subjectivity through machine reading of papers and create a fairer system of peer review. O’Neil, in […]
[…] an argument that might look familiar to more recent critics of the ways that a rhetoric of “excellence” can create artificial barriers to fresh thinking: “Every time an engineering problem is approached with a pale, male design team, it may […]
[…] into their Facebook posts to increase the likelihood that their friends would see their posts in their News Feed. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to develop, Boyd believes things are going to get much worse: If you don’t have a structure […]
[…] for-profit technology firms. This is a growing, if not new, trend, as The Wall Street Journal reported last year concerning artificial intelligence research. The question that nags me is, Why didn’t Elsevier and its cohorts get to this first? After all, […]
[…] experiment with different models of peer review, particularly those that increase transparency, encourage more diversity in the reviewer pool, utilize Artificial Intelligence, and those that support training and mentoring. Making the peer review process and experience better and more efficient is […]
[…] or double blind review, we have seen the rise of open peer review in some disciplines. And the use of artificial intelligence in peer review could be the next big thing. The main issue from my perspective is that peer review […]
[…] newcomers. I attended talks to learn about developments across the industry and enjoyed presentations from insightful experts. The theme of artificial intelligence arose across the workflow for discovery, mining, or quality control, with varying levels of human involvement. I found these […]
[…] accompanying graphic novel (written by Matt Fraction, no less, to be released in August). It tells the tale of an Artificial Intelligence that achieves consciousness, reads the internet to understand humans, realizes how horrible we are and leaves. It’s quite a […]

[…] proved to be more persuasive with conservatives than future-looking narratives. So, when people who reside in these communities hear about artificial intelligence, robotics, genetically modified crops, and stem cell research, it’s understandable that they begin to question whether scientists are helping […]
[…] Crotty have written about this, so I’ll not dwell, except to point out that the rise and profusion of increasingly smart Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered info bots (very common on Twitter at least) is very much a double-edged sword. I do believe […]
