Abstract: In recent work, I argued that there is an AI-specific no miracles argument (NMA) which is at least as plausible as the traditional NMA. In this talk, I will express two doubts about this claim, relative to the AI-specific NMA that I previously proposed. I will then develop a new AI-specific NMA in response,

Abstract: Despite its importance, the concept of algorithmic transparency has yet to be fully explicated. By asking what is transparent or opaque, we propose a comprehensive framework dividing transparency into four forms: use transparency, which discloses algorithm goals and uses; data transparency, which informs sources, processing, and data quality; model transparency, which explains how the

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly capable of learning from and mimicking individuals, as demonstrated by a fairly successful effort to replicate the attitudes and behaviors of individuals by generative AI with a 2-hour interview (see, Park et al. 2024). This technical advancement has afforded the creation of increasingly indistinguishable (online, digital) doubles of
Abstract: According to the doctrine of recurrence, we are reborn after our apparent death to live our life again. This paper develops a new doctrine of recurrence. We make three main claims. First, we argue that the simulation hypothesis increases the chance that we will recur. Second, we argue that the chance of recurrence affects
Abstract: Deep neural networks are known to construct internal representations to process and generalize information. Understanding the structure of these representations is crucial not only for improving machine learning models but also for aligning them with human cognitive representations—namely, the concepts we use in everyday reasoning and scientific inquiry. This study examines how mathematical frameworks
