Great #metascience2025 pres by @cianooo.bsky.social on new Public Values in AI Research project. Agree it’s a very hard case, not least because of the v lively public culture around AI ethics, which is heavily influenced by science fiction.

Join us to hear about what we found from studying AI researchers and what they say about public reception of AI. Findings from @jackstilgoe.bsky.social/ @cianooo.bsky.social's survey of 4.5k AI experts and the review I led of 320 pieces of international evidence.

Nature have picked up our survey. We think it's the largest survey of AI researchers ever conducted. Here's a quick thread on some of the headlines @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I've just finished a year long research project called Public Voices in AI. This lunchtime I walked over the Kings Cross to listen to some public voices very much outside of AI. Specifically 150 authors and illustrators delivering a protest letter to the offices of Meta / Facebook.

This will be good - feb 6 - Sarah Angliss, Gavin Bryars, and Shiva Feshareki - new works that explore the musical possibilities of historic sound technologies such as EMS synthesizers, the Watkins Copicat, and the DIY electronic instruments of Hugh Davies. www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/t...

While folks argue about which wealthy country is going to benefit most from the global LLM race... @ismaelrafols.bsky.social makes a case for making marginalised research topics visible, and the need for a multiple-perspective science observatory katinamagazine.org/content/arti... #metasciece

The Case for Diversity and Inclusion in Research Information

Science is largely conducted in alignment with the interests of rich countries and people. If we really want science to be a public good, it needs to become more pluralistic.

This is going straight onto the reading list for my Politics of the Digital Age module. Really beautiful work.
