MIT Backs Away From Paper Claiming Scientists Make More Discoveries with AI

Last year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was promoting to search for a PhD student about the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce that “professors” in this field. Now the university is back away from that and invites it to publish it. On Friday, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced that it reviewed the paper after fears and decided that it should be “withdrawn from public discourse.”

The paper, titled “Artificial Intelligence, Scientific Discovery, and Innovation of Products”, stumbled on all kinds of attention and headlines for discovering that scientists with the help of artificial intelligence tools were much more productive than their peers who worked without technological aid – but these researchers themselves who have discovered more satisfied with their work. This work was considered a breakthrough, and Darwun described Acemoglu, professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who recently won the Nobel Prize in the economy as “wonderful”.

But the results did not sit right with some. According to the Wall Street Journal, the computer world who has experience in material science is close to the professors of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with questions about how the artificial intelligence tool used in the experiment and the extent of the innovation that was already responsible for it. Professors took those concerns to the university, which started a review process in the end to mention the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that it “has no confidence in the data source, its reliability or the validity of the data and has no confidence in the validity of the research contained in the paper.”

The Foundation did not expand exactly what was wrong in the paper, noting “students’ privacy laws and the policy of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.” But the researcher responsible for the paper no longer belongs to the university, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has called for the paper to withdraw from the Arxiv Preprint site. The paper was also withdrawn from looking at the quarterly magazine of the economy, as it was presented for the final evaluation and publishing.

“More than just an embarrassing, it is a snare,” said David Outor, an economist of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who described the paper in WSJ. It is also a big blow to finding artificial intelligence in the workforce. It seems that the paper indicates that researchers were making other discoveries when Amnesty International helps them, indicating that there may be a boom in scientific breakthroughs on the horizon. Now there is a doubt about how real was, and the amount of what we can learn from how artificial intelligence enters people who use these tools.
