New UGP publication: Grounding AI: Exploring the Role of Algorithms in Science

The book Grounding AI: Exploring the Role of Algorithms in Science is now available online and open access at University of Groningen Press (UGP).

The book is written by Matilde Ficozzi, Dario Rodighiero, Mathieu Jacomy and Anders Kristian Munk.

About the book

You are seeing a map — but not of streets or cities. This is a map of two million scientific papers about artificial intelligence, machine learning, and algorithms. Each dot is a paper. Each cluster is a conversation happening in science, right now, about how algorithms are being put to work in the world.

Like any city map, this one invites you to explore. You can zoom in on a neighborhood, follow a path, or simply wander. The further you walk, the more the landscape changes — from medicine to education, from language to vision, from prediction to control.

Take your time with it. Ask yourself which of these applications you had heard of, which ones surprised you, and whether more of them should be part of the public conversation we are all having about AI.
