The opinions of 'AI scientists' of Today don't matter. Like, _at all_.

Why not?

Because people who were soldering together their 'Altair' kits didn't write 'BASIC', Bill Gates did... not even on an Altair, on an emulator.

Brilliant work!

More surprising is the level of concern about training data. Only a quarter agree with a data free-for-all (the de facto policy in most places)

AI researchers are also worried about explainability, but not as worried as the public are

There's much, much more in the report, and more analysis to follow https://zenodo.org/records/15118399. The work was led by @cianooo.bsky.social, with a team of MSc students from @stsucl.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk @uclnews.bsky.social
