Some experts are speaking out about the lack of transparency in AI research. For example:
I’ve been at two startups that have done genuine world first fundamental research. The first tried to publish novel results for 3 years in tier 1 journals before finally doing a preprint and telling the tier one publishers to jump in a fire.
This experience has led some startups to prioritize secrecy over transparency. As one expert noted:
The article is vague about the companies in the paper, for some reason. In the paper, OpenAI is at the top of the chart for cumulative citations.
Conclusion
The lack of transparency in AI research is a concern that needs to be addressed. By prioritizing secrecy over transparency, startups may be hindering the development of AI and undermining trust in the industry.
