We have recently proposed a novel take on xAI. Taking advantage of the duality between xAI and Causality, we have proposed a Causality-inspired taxonomy for explainable artificial intelligence. https://t.co/b2CSHZuGkR

@theumilk99 Completamente intemporal! E conseguiu encaixar-se na história dos livros de forma brutal. Ainda hoje jogo

BREAKING: Today, we closed the chapter on vibe coding.

I just witnessed my Mac erase a $31B company in 186 seconds.

This is beyond insane.

Worst possible pledge for using AI. Considerably worse results 🤣

The new AI Camera Assistant* with Xperia Intelligence brings stories to life. Using subject, scene and weather, it suggests expressive options with adjustments of colour, exposure, bokeh, and lens for breathtaking photos*.

I love Geoff.
But he understands even less than Dario about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market.
Again, don't listen to AI scientists, as brilliant as they might be, and even less to AI CEOs, as successful as they might be, for questions of labor economics.
Listen to reputable economists who have studied these things like @Ph_Aghion , @DAcemogluMIT , @erikbryn , @amcafee , @davidautor , etc.

My first time at the national television to discuss AI!

[Pedro C. Neto @Pedro18_Neto]

We are slowly getting stagnant due to an early success.. it’s the old discussion of exploration vs exploitation all over again

[Niels Rogge @NielsRogge]

"Before Transformers, RNNs were the thing. These were a big breakthrough. Suddenly, everyone started to work on improving RNNs. But the results were always these slight modifications on the same architecture, like putting the gate in a different spot, with improvements to 1.26, 1.25 bits per character on language modeling."

"After the Transformer, when we applied very deep decoder-only Transformers to the same task, we immediately got 1.1 bits per character. So all that research on RNNs suddenly seemed a waste of time".

"We're currently in the same situation where a lot of papers are taking the same architecture (Transformer) and making these endless tweaks, in a local minimum, and we might be wasting time in exactly the same way."

- Llion Jones, co-author of the Transformer on @MLStreetTalk

@parmita Not easy to get people to see this view, we are augmenting our futures through healthcare AI

@iScienceLuvr @SophontAI Lot of interesting works @iScienceLuvr

2026 will be even fuller 👍

I feel like we are in an era similar to the beginning of DL. Pushing the metrics is the goal, ensuring fairness is secondary. How are you tackling this at @SophontAI ?

[Pedro C. Neto @Pedro18_Neto]

@giffmana The thing with working on ML is that a lot of the bugs are silent bugs, and it takes some time for you to become naturally skeptical and start double or triple checking your results

[Pedro C. Neto @Pedro18_Neto]

@nextinsurgery One rarely good take on explainable AI. Showing comparative situations is, IMO, one of the best interpretations on xAI and how explanations might be useful

[Pedro C. Neto @Pedro18_Neto]

@iScienceLuvr Tbf AI didn’t even reach properly a lot of domains, medical being one of them!

Yet doctors seem excited by gains in efficiency, and less fatigue-prone analysis with the AI-Doctor combo

[Pedro C. Neto @Pedro18_Neto]

The first task of 2026 checklist is cleared: Update my personal website

Figured out that I needed to start the year with a refreshed look, instead of going for a crazy haircut, just changed my entire website.

Let me know what you think: https://t.co/zEtFjvwkkf

Name of my second border collie - Eevee - Seems to be always ready for some Pokémon combat

No more sleeping—Eevee is ready to start the day! 😄

Finally finished my PhD. A long journey that comes to an end! Great defense, with very interesting discussion!

Já está disponível a minha primeira opinião pública sobre o uso da IA na saúde, tanto em Portugal como no mundo!

Quão loucos somos para confiar a nossa saúde a sistemas que não foram desenhados a pensar nela, que carecem de consistência de anos de investigação que fundamentam o conhecimento humano especializado? Crónica de Pedro C. Neto https://t.co/jk9cS0fgb1
