Genomics researcher slams GoodfireAI's PR machine for distorting EVEE claims
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-10-20
Researcher anshulkundaje continues his critique of GoodfireAI: he believes EVEE is genuinely useful for variant prioritization, but claims in papers and public sci-comm must match the actual results. He stresses he isn't targeting individuals — company scientists are usually well intentioned — but 'the PR machine quickly corrupts the message.' The spat highlights a broader problem of overstated claims in AI-biotech communication.
