Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

ALT Image with BioSS logo and statement from Prof. Mark Brewer (BioSS) “There is considerable potential for AI to support policy development in Scotland, and indeed colleagues in BioSS and the other SEFARI are already using AI approaches in the Strategic Research Programme, funded by RESAS in support of ENRA. However, AI is not a single method but a general concept – with very many different tools and techniques at each stage – so it is vital to bring together experts in AI and in the fields of science covered by ENRA in order to consider not only the effectiveness of AI, but also the ethical and societal dimensions. This initial meeting of AI-SAG is the first step in establishing the best way forward.”
We are excited to announce that we are now partnered with @BayesCentre at @EdinburghUni.🤝
We are looking forward to this new opportunity to build on our existing expertise in data science, and strong history of collaborative research.
