Abstract

While the introduction of practical deep learning has driven progress across scientific fields, recent research highlighted that deep learning has potential negative impacts on the scientific community and society as a whole. An ever-growing need for more computational resources may exacerbate the concentration of funding and the exclusiveness of research between countries, sectors, and institutions. Here, I introduce recent concerns and considerations of the machine learning research community and present potential solutions.
