Everyone is trying to automate AI Machine Learning Engineering work – and if this is achieved, it’s over for China.

Are the timelines to AGI ridiculous? And is AI 2027 a load of rubbish? @hlntnr.bsky.social gives her opinion #academisky #podcast #artificialintelligence #AGI

China's AI+ strategy is focused on application in specific industries, rather than pouring billions of dollars in the hope we achieve superintelligence.
Is the U.S. strategy actually a recipe for disaster if the bubble pops?

@hlntnr.bsky.social explains the Chinese AI strategy. They’re actually focused on harnessing AI to drive economic activity, rather than driving a huge investment bubble.

People don’t appreciate that AI adoption is a real competition too – it’s not all about who reaches AGI first.
The most advanced model doesn’t mean America will necessarily win.
@hlntnr.bsky.social makes a great point – China is focused on adoption – not achieving AGI.

@hlntnr.bsky.social is right – it has been exaggerated how much of a let-down GPT-5 was. If you have been in the field for 10 years you know that everything has pretty much been an incremental improvement #academsky #gpt5

Does China care about the risks of AI? Why does the U.S. gov comparatively freakout so much more about the risks of AI - is it just an excuse to regulate and restrict tech companies? @hlntnr.bsky.social

Is AI really on an exponential curve, or is that hype?
@garymarcus.bsky.social argues GPT-5 proves the curve has flattened. Scaling isn’t delivering exponential gains anymore and the field is shifting to smaller or hybrid models.
Are we past exponential AI, or just in a slowdown? #academisky #ai

Are you an AI "skeptic"?
On the latest episode of Agents of Tech @garymarcus.bsky.social argues he isn’t against AI at all, but as a scientist, he pushes back on hype and false claims. His critique isn’t anti-AI, it’s pro-truth.

Has the scaling paradigm finally hit a wall?
Gary Marcus says GPT-5 wasn’t the leap everyone expected. Chips, energy, data… all are hitting limits.
Is AI running out of road or just pausing until the next breakthrough?

Have we made AI sound scarier than it really is?
Professor Charlotte Deane breaks it down: AI is just a mathematical tool. The real challenge (and opportunity) is in how we test it, train it, and trust ourselves to question the results #ai #artificialintelligence #research #podcast

The best part of being an academic? Working with students.
On Agents of Tech, Professor Charlotte Deane shares why she loves the fresh perspective students bring, challenging assumptions, asking new questions, and seeing the world differently.

#ai models can be powerful, but they also fail, sometimes in spectacular ways. For Professor Charlotte Deane, those failures aren’t just mistakes, they’re signals that reveal what data is missing and how to make models stronger. #podcast #aimodels #artificalintelligence

Should AI be allowed as an author of scientific papers?
