Europe must be relevant in the age of artificial intelligence
As per a study published in the journal Nature, there is no clarity on how many of the models will fit the EU’s definition of “open source”. “To our surprise, it was the small players, with relatively few resources, that go the extra mile,” the study’s authors said. However, the authors identified the most and least open models.
More than 1,600 researchers weighed in on artificial intelligence and science
A survey by Nature found that nearly 40% of the scientists who studied Artificial Intelligence said that they used it directly. Those who use AI in other fields tended to be more worried by a lack of skilled scientists and training resources. The survey also revealed that 28% of those who studied AI said that they used generative AI products every day or more than once a week.
A lot of scientists are cutting back on their social media activities
A study conducted by Nature has found that many scientists have stopped tweeting about their scientific papers on Twitter’s experimental platform, X, as a result of Elon Musk’s decision to shut it down. The study showed that approximately half of scientists who were identified through social-media research project as having tweeted about papers on which they were an author had reduced or stopped tweeting on X.
