There seems to be a lot of sharing amongst artificial intelligence researchers nowadays and it seems to be accelerating innovation.
Sharing of medical research could potential accelerate innovation that could save a lot of lives (including those of the researchers themselves and their loved ones).
It's curious that these industries are so different in this respect.
What would have to happen in order to increase the amount of sharing of medical research?
- jandrewrogers 10y agoI would say this is more illusory than real. It is common in areas that have intense private R&D competition, such as AI, databases, et al to regularly publish research that makes you appear relevant without publishing any internal research that actually matters. The incentives are aligned to encourage this. It is unfortunate but I have seen it first-hand in a few interesting computer science research areas, and academia simply doesn't have the resources to keep pace with the output that happens under NDA at many private research labs.
