The titans of AI are getting their work double-checked by students

We trust in science because we can verify the accuracy of its claims. We test and verify that accuracy by repeating the scientist's original experiments. What happens when those tests fail, particularly in a field that has the potential to create billions of dollars of revenue? In 2016, Nature surveyed more than 1,500 scientists and found that more than 70% of them had tried and failed to reproduce experiments by other scientists published in scientific journals. More than half couldn't even reproduce their own work.
