@danwilliamsphil Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for, but I've argued that ensemble learning methods implement basic concepts from social epistemology, at least in the same shallow sense that neural networks are "like brains" https://t.co/buH

@ch402 Fascinating thread, and a valuable perspective. There are other good examples (beyond NNs) of biomimesis in ML, as well as illuminating connections to cog sci and social epistemology. Shameless self-plug alert! https://t.co/buHDp0D9Vy
I‘m wondering why there is not more work on designing less humanoid, more transparent, but equally engaging interfaces for #AI? Humanizing #algorithms actually makes it harder to steer towards socially sustainable applications, as you can read here: https:

@aravartanian @Noahpinion That is explicitly not what is happening though. Algorithmic decisions are, currently, used to obfuscate the people that would otherwise have to directly pull the lever. They may be more auditable, but they're less audited. h

«High risk decisions should ideally be made by (i) accurate, (ii) trustworthy, and (iii) responsible agents. […] Of these three desiderata, #AI can most plausibly be said to meet the first.»
"The impulse to humanize #algorithms is an obstacle to properly conceptualizing the ethical challenges posed by emerging technologies". Even for a novice in the field of #AI this paper by Prof David Watson @turinginst is facsinating. https://t.co/j
“The anthropomorphic hype around deep learning is uncritical and overblown. It would be a mistake to say that these algorithms recreate human intelligence; instead, they introduce some new mode of inference that outperforms us in some ways and falls short
