Major Swiss data-rescue and AI-training project:

"Researchers have copied massive quantities of publicly available #climate and #environmental #data from #NASA onto a Swiss supercomputer to train #AI models—and for safekeeping amid U.S. #funding cuts…It had taken approximately a year to copy the roughly 6 billion files [roughly 100 petabytes]…Going forward, the researchers are also planning to copy large quantities of datasets from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (#NOAA)… All the data copied so far had been publicly available."

I'm still digesting the new report to Donald Trump by Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦: 𝘈 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘎𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘈𝘨𝘦.
https://prod-i.a.dj.com/public/resources/documents/Science-A-New-Golden-Age.pdf

A few initial thoughts:

* It strongly supports science itself and govt funding of science. But it doesn't mention the attacks on science itself and cuts to science funding by the Trump admin.

* It wants research funding to depend entirely on merit. But it doesn't mention the recent OMB proposal to make it depend on the decisions of political appointees trying to advance the president's policy priorities.

* It wants to shift funding from projects to people, which could become another way to defund universities.

* It wants to boost the role of AI in science.

* To facilitate the role of AI in science, it wants to boost support for open data well beyond current levels. But it doesn't mention the many datasets censored or taken down by the Trump admin.

"Mandatory reviews by [political appointees] and checks for 235 disfavoured terms have left hundreds of vetted grant applications in administrative limbo."

Here's the Nature list of "disfavored terms" that trigger slow-walking and political scrutiny of grant applications.

The US used to require that corporations disclose the true identities of their beneficial owners (reducing the corrupt influence of shell companies) and kept a database of the info. Now the Trump admin is refusing to enforce the rule and deleting the data.

PS: Because the database was never #OpenAccess -- basically, just for law enforcement officials -- it's probably beyond the reach of data rescue projects.
