The reason I am blogging about this is because I had something about this from a post back in January. See Some good news on productivity.
Excerpts from this latest article:
"The paper said that the introduction of an AI tool in a materials-science lab led to gains in new discoveries, but had more ambiguous effects on the scientists who used it."
"That paper, by Aidan Toner-Rodgers, was covered by The Wall Street Journal and other media outlets.
In a press release, MIT said it “has no confidence in the provenance, reliability or validity of the data and has no confidence in the veracity of the research contained in the paper.”
The university said the author of the paper is no longer at MIT."
"The paper said that after an AI tool was implemented at a large materials-science lab, researchers discovered significantly more materials"
"The paper was championed by MIT economists Daron Acemoglu, who won the 2024 economics Nobel, and David Autor."
"a computer scientist with experience in materials science . . . questioned how the technology worked, and how a lab that he wasn’t aware of had experienced gains in innovation."
