Google DeepMind has imposed stricter regulations around sharing research, as reported by the Financial Times. This change aims to protect the company’s edge in AI amid rising competition from entities like OpenAI. CEO of AI startup Iris.ai, Anita Schjøll Abildgaard, expresses that this shift signals a move away from collaborative AI research, which could stifle technological advancements. Although other labs might benefit from lightened competition, the potential negative impact of reduced access to DeepMind’s innovations is a significant concern for the broader AI community.
DeepMind's decision marks the end of an era of openness and collaboration in AI research.
Researchers across industries will have less access to DeepMind's undoubtedly impressive work.
It's hard to imagine projects of this importance moving forward without the collaborative spirit fostered through open research.
The drawbacks will far outweigh the benefits of DeepMind's new publishing restrictions.
