🚨BREAKING: the @royalsociety publishes "Science in the Age of AI - How AI is changing the nature and method of scientific research," and it's a must-read for everyone interested in AI & science. Important information:
➡️According to the official release, the report addresses the following questions:
➵ How are AI-driven technologies transforming the methods and nature of scientific research?
➵ What are the opportunities, limitations, and risks of these technologies for scientific research?
➵ How can relevant stakeholders (governments, universities, industry, research funders, etc) best support the development, adoption, and uses of AI-driven technologies in scientific research?
➡️Some of the key findings are:
"Beyond landmark cases like AlphaFold, AI applications can be found across all STEM fields, with a concentration in fields such as medicine, materials science, robotics, agriculture, genetics, and computer science. The most prominent AI techniques across STEM fields include artificial neural networks, deep learning, natural language processing and image recognition"
-
"China contributes approximately 62% of the patent landscape. Within Europe, the UK has the second largest share of AI patents related to life sciences after Germany, with academic institutions such as the University of Oxford, Imperial College, and Cambridge University featuring prominently among the top patent filers in the UK. Companies such as Alphabet, Siemens, IBM, and Samsung appear to exhibit considerable influence across scientific and engineering fields."
-
"Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential to bridge skill gaps and optimise the benefits of AI in scientific research. By sharing knowledge and skills from each other’s fields, collaboration between AI and domain subject experts (including researchers from the arts, humanities, and social sciences) can help produce more effective and accurate AI models. This is being prevented, however, by siloed research environments and an incentive structure that does not reward interdisciplinary collaboration in terms of contribution towards career progression."

🚨 Massive AI Security Release 🚨
@NIST just put out the best AI Security Publication that I've ever seen.
It is 106 pages of deep, technical content. It references real-world practical attacks. In this thread is the link and I'm going to cover a few highlights. 👇
