Thousands of AI Researchers Are Boycotting the New Nature Journal
When did science become so political? Between applying for government grants for research, paying journals so university students can read published science papers, and inter-departmental politics surrounding tenure, there is no shortage of politics in scientific research. Nature is the world’s most cited journal. The London-based publishing group’s addition of machine learning (ML) into their line-up of more than […]
Is Our Brain the Secret to Better AI?
