When your proposal gets killed by an algorithm that has no capacity to understand science, what will you do?
When your colleague's proposal gets killed by an algorithm that has no capacity to understand science and amplifies biases by default, what will you do?

Well, there it is. The EU is also going to use slop algorithms to put an artificial number on proposals. This is how we lose. This is a disaster 🧪
They must demarcate the responsible uses of AI in evaluation, with research funding and research performing organisations jointly leading actions in the interest of the research sector and research communities.

Anything about AI coming from the USA or UK is terrible, but in the EU we also suck!
Research evaluation faces growing pressure: demand for competitive research funding is rising, while AI is rapidly changing how proposals can be written and assessed.
In this context, the ERC & Science Europe had a workshop with research funding and performing organisations from 5 continents.

A little reminder that the Doctor has spent multiple lifetimes, battling evil world-challenging robots, in a whole variety of guises.

The BBC's new director general has described a 50-minute AI-generated episode of Doctor Who as "pretty good," and suggested that the technology now enabled the creation of content "at the standard of a Hollywood studio." https://bit.ly/4rD8rmh

The goal isn’t to replace the work of humans. It’s to make a case for its devaluation.

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

Bold move for Republicans to remind everyone just before the election. But I'm sure Trump will have a very calm and rational, "reasonable people can disagree" reaction.
Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"
