Thousands of AI researchers are boycotting a science journal

Summary:

"Science journal Nature recently announced it will be launching a dedicated section of its online publication to machine learning in January, 2019. That would normally be welcome, except the section is set to be put behind a paywall.

Naturally, many AI researchers took umbrage at the plans. Much of the community are fierce advocates of open research — both to improve advancements in the field, and to help ensure the development of safe and ethical standards."
