Sean Hill is a colleague I know for almost 20 years. Professor at EPFL in Lausanne; former chief data architect of the Human Brain Project. He is an entrepreneur and a top scientist who has been holding positions in top research labs in the US, in Canada and in Switzerland. His keynote was all about FAIRsquared and how that enables AI-readiness of data to an unprecedented degree. Thank you, Sean @wake_sleep for giving this impressive keynote to start our symposium.

A foundation model can learn useful biological structure only when biological differences can be separated from methodological ones, writes @wake_sleep. thetransmitter.org/artificia…

AI can’t solve the brain without data that fit together

The brain’s first foundation models exist because some areas of neuroscience developed standards to help integrate data. AI can’t do that work for us.

Science needs open source and open data now more than ever

Science is about to get absolutely nuked. Unless we get extremely strict about providing and opening up code and data and documenting lab experiments rigorously, a torrent of credible-looking but fraudulent papers is upon us.
