Easier said that done, though, right? What's a research funding model that doesn't (ultimately) rely on impressing the general public in some way?
The usual, most common model of science funding largely does not rely on impressing non-experts. It involves convincing expert committees and peers. In the field of AI, having to impress non-experts to get money is a very new development.
But when you’ve impressed the expert committee and gotten the funding doesn’t the head of that committee then have to impress the alumni donors/government funders etc. to raise their own budget? I’d argue there’s still PR; it’s just outsourced a bit.
Yes. I think astronomy and particle physics realised this early on because they need lots of funding for big instruments. This explains why there are people in both who are very good at talking to the public.
@fchollet , please list examples, for the fact we know that academia is based on politics which is for PR at the end of the day, I would be curious if you can list any research got funding without politics, the funding agency must trust to give money just to do genuine research!
