Beyond Intelligence: AI and the Sociality of Scientific Discovery
summary
Examines whether AI can reproduce the messy ingredients of breakthrough science — serendipity, dreams, mistakes, ignorance and doodling — and asks how machines would make and value mistakes, know what they do not know. Argues science is fundamentally collaborative and questions how AI encodes the sociality of scientific practice matters. Compares AI’s mathematical/statistical abstractions to other ways of knowing and asks what kinds of science AI will actually produce.
