Values in science collaboration
A collaborative project with Benjamin Chin-Yee. We address ’the new demarcation problem’ in science (as Holman and Wilholt have called it): the problem of demarcating legitimate value-ladenness in scientific judgment and communication. The project has so far resulted in two presentations and papers:
- ‘Making room for trust: against “explainable AI”’. (Under review). Presented: Objectivity, values, and trust workshop. November 30, 2023. University of Cambridge; Values in science reading group. May 29, 2024. University of Cambridge.
- ‘Clinical Communication: A Model for Scientific Advice?’ (Manuscript). Presented: 8th Stockholm Graduate Conference. December 7, 2023; Bergen Philosophy of Science Workshop. October 23, 2023; and the Cambridge-MCMP Workshop. September 23, 2023.
