π€ Did you know your voice might be cloned without your consent from just *one sentence* of audio? That's not great. So with @frimelle , we brainstormed a new idea for developers who want to curb malicious use: β¨The Voice Consent Gate.β¨ Details, code, here: https://huggingface.co/blog/voice-consent-gate
AI for Scientific Discovery Won't Work Without Fixing How We Collaborate.
My co-author @cgeorgiaw and I just published a paper challenging a core assumption: that the main barriers to AI in science are technical. They're not. They're social.
Key findings:
π¨ The "AI Scientist" myth delays progress: Waiting for AGI devalues human expertise and obscures science's real purpose: cultivating understanding, not just outputs. π Wrong incentives: Datasets have 100x longer impact than models, yet data curation is undervalued. β οΈ Broken collaboration: Domain scientists want understanding. ML researchers optimize performance. Without shared language, projects fail. π Fragmentation costs years: Harmonizing just 9 cancer files took 329 hours.
Why this matters: Upstream bottlenecks like efficient PDE solvers could accelerate discovery across multiple sciences. CASP mobilized a community around protein structure, enabling AlphaFold. We need this for dozens of challenges.
Thus, we're launching Hugging Science! A global community addressing these barriers through collaborative challenges, open toolkits, education, and community-owned infrastructure. Please find all the links below!
