Researchers in this article make an argument against the use of AI in the scientific process. They believe that the sheer volume of academic articles being produced is putting an immense strain on the peer review process. This limits the capacity for in-depth thought and confuses scientific progress with a skewed notion of academic productivity—scientific progress is quantified by the number of articles produced.

Following in the footsteps of the state of Indiana (2019), almost all states in the US provide tax exemptions to eligible data centers. The demand for data centers was high when the Indiana legislation was passed, but it has skyrocketed ever since the advent of LLMs and their need for more storage and energy. To attract data centers, states are forfeiting millions of dollars in taxes. Questions about whether having these exemptions is even profitable, considering that they don’t create that many jobs but use a significant amount of electricity, along with questions about who is getting these benefits, are being raised. It was found that a company applied for an exemption, but it was another holding company for Google.

Research has found that 90% of studies on AI development, as well as 86% of the resulting patents, involve human imaging. This means that data used to train AI models are well suited to being used in surveillance applications by military, law enforcement, corporations, and other private actors. There is also substantial evidence to suggest that much of the research that created the current models were funded by government and military agencies.

Meta was accused of violating fair use agreements. Writers Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates had argued that the Facebook owner had breached copyright law by using their books without permission to train its AI system. It was later decided in court that fair use agreements were not violated because of the prosecution’s inability to prove how this would cause market dilution by flooding the market with work similar to theirs. This may, however, be a case of not making a compelling argument in court.
