Manage episode 335536734 series 3322586
Gareth O'Neill and Nikesh Gosalia continue their discussion on all things open science, starting with the case of Diederik Stapel, a cautionary tale on the dangers of closed data. Gareth shares his insider knowledge on upcoming open science developments, including FAIR, European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), and the use of AI algorithms to find dataset correlations, as well as his observations on how stakeholders and researchers are responding to these developments. He also talks about solutions for current issues that are affecting datasets such as data stewards and a revamped reward system for researchers. Focusing on the future, Gareth discusses why open science will take decades to be widely accepted. He addresses the possibility of a tipping point for its adoption and talks about future considerations as AI technologies improve and data singularity occurs.
