AI Industry Outlook & Social Impact

1. A recent study published in Nature magazine has revealed something pretty thought-provoking: over 200,000 (roughly 14%) of biomedical paper abstracts published on PubMed in 2024 actually showed characteristic words of AI-generated text! 🤯 This percentage was even higher in non-English speaking countries and lower-threshold open-access journals. The research team is urging everyone to regulate AI’s use in academic writing to ensure scientific rigor and fairness, and they’re planning to dig deeper into the actual impact this will have on academic literature.

   
   
   

2. The Independent Publishers Alliance is seriously steamed! 😡 They’ve just slapped the European Commission with an antitrust complaint, accusing Google of ‘abusing web content’ with its AI summary feature in its search engine. This move has really rattled publishers, especially news publishers, who are seeing major losses in traffic, readership, and revenue. This whole thing has once again pushed the issue of how big tech companies use web content and data right into the spotlight, and you bet it’s going to spark a huge industry buzz!

   
   
   

3. Pete Docter, Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer, recently ‘complained’ on a podcast that current AI technology is ‘boring.’ 🙄 However, he stressed that human creativity is absolutely irreplaceable in animation creation! He’s still hoping AI can help ease the workload for everyone.
