Andrey Burkov criticizes science copyright: publicly funded research ends up locked by Elsevier/IEEE. His ChapterPal hosts papers with an AI tutor for 'discussing with authors.' 24 top researchers — Hinton, Bengio, Mikolov, Girshick, Dosovitskiy, Hendrycks, Stoica and more — granted blanket permission covering 4,300 papers. OpenAI, Google and Microsoft gave company-wide permission; Meta refused despite repeated requests. He calls on more scientists and companies to open their research.
