White House report says Trump can usher in a “new golden age” of science
Summary
Ars Technica's John Timmer reviews the White House OSTP report 'Science: A New Golden Age,' noting it blends real concerns with grievances and lacks internal coherence. The piece discusses AI policy, funding, peer review, and innovation models, arguing the administration's aims are unclear and that the proposals are inconsistent with broader policies. It also critiques assumptions about commercialization, international collaboration, and the role of venture capital in science funding.
