Agents of Tech

Is AI really on an exponential curve, or is that hype?
@garymarcus.bsky.social argues GPT-5 proves the curve has flattened. Scaling isn’t delivering exponential gains anymore and the field is shifting to smaller or hybrid models.
Are we past exponential AI, or just in a slowdown? #academisky #ai

Everyone's talking about #TillyNorwood and the rise of the "AI Actress". In the latest episode of AOT we spoke to @garymarcus.bsky.social about whether actors are at threat from AI, take a listen #ai #aiactor #podcastclip

Are you an AI "skeptic"?

On the latest episode of Agents of Tech @garymarcus.bsky.social argues he isn’t against AI at all, but as a scientist, he pushes back on hype and false claims. His critique isn’t anti-AI, it’s pro-truth.

Has the scaling paradigm finally hit a wall?
Gary Marcus says GPT-5 wasn’t the leap everyone expected. Chips, energy, data… all are hitting limits.
Is AI running out of road or just pausing until the next breakthrough?

Have we made AI sound scarier than it really is?
Professor Charlotte Deane breaks it down: AI is just a mathematical tool. The real challenge (and opportunity) is in how we test it, train it, and trust ourselves to question the results #ai #artificialintelligence #research #podcast

The best part of being an academic? Working with students.
On Agents of Tech, Professor Charlotte Deane shares why she loves the fresh perspective students bring, challenging assumptions, asking new questions, and seeing the world differently.

#ai models can be powerful, but they also fail, sometimes in spectacular ways. For Professor Charlotte Deane, those failures aren’t just mistakes, they’re signals that reveal what data is missing and how to make models stronger. #podcast #aimodels #artificalintelligence

“We are the third best country in the world at AI… that’s incredible. Start there.”

Live from ISMB/ECCB, Professor Charlotte Deane reflects on the 'AI race' - is it really about competition? And does the UK have a true strategic advantage?

Can we really trust AI scientists?

If we don’t have enough human experts to collaborate, how will we ever have enough to verify what AI comes up with?

Should AI be allowed as an author of scientific papers?

Right now, top journals won’t accept AI as a co-author. At ISMB/ECCB we found out how Stanford Prof. James Zou is flipping the script: could this open the door to more transparency and innovation? @iscb.bsky.social

Are AI ‘digital scientists’ the future of research?

@layates.bsky.social dives into a fascinating question: could virtual labs and AI researchers shrink the scientific workforce or expand it?
