> Democratizing the Tools
> We love that corporations are doing all this work, but we don’t love the fact that the opportunity to share information is asymmetric,” Lungren says. “If they amass data but then lock it down, they will be the only ones who can innovate, which would shut out the important contributions by computer scientists and clinicians around the world. That’s not a position we want to be in.”
Uh huh.
Let's scrutinize the "Stanford University School of Medicine MURA: MSK Xrays Dataset Research User Agreement":
> By registering for downloads [...] you are agreeing to this Research Use Agreement [...]
Hiding downloads behind a registration. We're off to a FANTASTIC start. /s
> YOU MAY NOT DISTRIBUTE, PUBLISH, OR REPRODUCE A COPY of any portion or all of the MURA: MSK Xrays Dataset to others without specific prior written permission from the School of Medicine.
> YOU MAY NOT SHARE THE DOWNLOAD LINK to the MURA: MSK Xrays dataset to others.
You know what? I'm going to stop there. The agreement becomes increasingly more hostile.
Someone please inform Stanford on what "Democratizing" actually means.
It's a hard pass from me.
