After engaging presentations from Michael Anthony, S. Karthik Mukkavilli and @milliechapman.bsky.social, we are now discussing the pipeline from AI to Impact, moderated by Sarah Tariq. Take home message: the fairness and trustworthiness of models are key for supporting society as a whole.

"We suggest that the scientific community needs to think carefully about where we find worth in what we do. LLMs are eroding that space. Let’s not lose sight of the depth and complexity inherent in the human activity of science."
A few months ago, Nature published how-to guide for using ChatGPT to write your peer reviews in 30 minutes.
This is, of course, a horrible idea. Here’s my response with @jbakcoleman.bsky.social .

AI, peer review and the human activity of science
When researchers cede their scientific judgement to machines, we lose something important.
