Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and IdeasJudea Pearl on Cause and EffectTo say that event A causes event B is to not only make a claim about our actual world, but about other possible worlds — in worlds where A didn’t happen but everything else was the same, B would not have happened. This leads to an obvious difficulty if we want to infer causes from sets of data — we generally only have data about the actual world. Happily, there are ways around this difficulty, and the study of causal relations is of central importance in modern social science and artificial intelligence research. Judea Pearl has been the leader of the “causal re...2022-05-091h 16

Haymarket Books LiveTransformative Justice and Knowledge Production in TechJoin contributors to the special edition of Logic Magazine, Beacons, for a discussion on Transformative Justice and Knowledge Production in Tech
Techno-capitalism is re-negotiating the social contract but knowledge about technologies is too often sequestered behind the lock doors of industry. Black women researchers like Dr. Timnit Gebru who raised alarm about the racial and ecological implications of emergent technologies are systematically silenced and forced out. Additionally, corporate capture of academic departments has even further limited the space to do critical research.
Given these obstacles, how can researchers both inside and outside of tech companies do the difficult work of...2022-04-291h 32
