Quoting ShashwatGoel7's prediction that what happened to math researchers in September 2026 is "a matter of time" for AI researchers too — with a personal deadline of March 2027 — Dr. Datta (AIIMS) adds that if true, March 2027 becomes his personal target to leave AI research.
The exchange captures a recurring sentiment in the AI community: models are closing in on the frontier of research work itself, and researchers are half-jokingly setting exit dates.
