文摘

The new wave of artificial super intelligence, exemplified by the evolution in big data and Internet of Things raise an issue of whether this evolution could and should exclude human intuition from human judgment, given its exclusive reliance on data driven certainty of algorithms, analytics, artificial and machine learning. How could we respond to the algorithmic wave of uneven accuracy, deal with uncertainty, ambiguity, conflicts, justifiable judgements, and seek alignment of data and knowledge. We are minded by Weizenbaum's argument (1976) that if human judgement is based on human observation (data) and intuition, then how can science which ultimately rests on a vast array of human value judgments, deny that human value judgments are illusionary? The paper reflects on the certainty of data driven singularity and argues for a relational conversation between technology and society.
