Unapologetically Open Science -- the complexity and challenges of making openness win!
Soumith Chintala
2024 Invited Talk
Abstract
In the past 5 years, AI has been trending towards becoming a closed and propreitary field -- undoing hard work from the previous decade. This is alarming for scientific progress. The reasons for this trend are complex, and so are the solutions -- ranging from energy and resources to capital pressure to geopolitics to breaking previous societal mechanics around intellectual property. I will give an opinionated view of how to get us as a field to a better place.
