Ignorance, opacity, and dependence
Organized by the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences
This workshop aims to explore how AI reshapes the scientists' epistemic environment. What kinds of ignorance does AI mitigate, and what new forms does it generate? How should we conceptualize epistemic dependence on complex computational systems? Can scientific understanding survive—or even thrive—under conditions of opacity?
