LIVE FROM THE AI SUMMIT LDN: Inside Sony AI’s Bet on Open Research
Fred Gifford, Strategy Lead and Sr. Product Manager at Sony AI, shares how his team is building knowledge graphs from academic literature to predict new biomedical relationships and accelerate drug discovery. He explains why Sony AI publishes so much of its research openly, what he got wrong about AI therapy when writing his novel and why he believes accountability for AI’s ethical failures still lags dangerously behind the pace of the technology itself.
