I agree with Professor Raymond J. Mooney in his talk on “Big AI” that research and innovation depend on open and inclusive collaborations especially when the field has become big in the sense that it requires large amounts of money and effort. We should not have to depend on corporations alone. As an undergraduate, I wrote a paper, “Why Oregon State University is better than Harvard“. OSU promotes equality, freedom, and democracy, while private elite universities do not.
