I advocate for years that to make leaps in AI and its domain we need AI polymaths: People that know the domain and not only apply AI but devise and develop new AI. In our VIOS team we train people to do such interdisciplinary AI. @chaihubuk @RAEngNews sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Someone asked me if publishing in AI is getting more competitive. To offer evidence I quickly searched arxiv for keywords that authors typically use (e.g. concurrent work) to signal that similar work recently appeared. See the plots! @UKRI_News @chaihubuk @EPSRC @RAEngNews

It is evident that the use of such keywords is exponentially increasing. I used variations of keywords "concurrent work", "simultaneous work" etc. Did this with @DSDimensions
