AI and the Decentering of Disciplinary Creativity
This paper examines the role of artificial intelligence in scientific problem-solving, with a focus on its implications for disciplinary creativity. Drawing on recent work in the philosophy of creativity, I distinguish between creative approaches and creative products, and introduce the concept of disciplinary creativity—the creative application of discipline-specific expertise to a valued problem within that field. Through two cases in mathemati…
Apriori Knowledge in an Era of Computational Opacity
Can we acquire apriori mathematical knowledge from the outputs of computer programs? Although we claim Appel and Haken acquired apriori knowledge of the Four Color Theorem from their computer program insofar as it merely automated human forms of mathematical reasoning, the opacity of modern LLMs and DNNs creates obstacles in obtaining apriori mathematical knowledge in analogous ways. If however a proof-checker automating human forms of proof-chec…
The Humanistic Case for AI Optimism
Deep Learning Opacity in Scientific Discovery
While philosophers have focused on epistemological and ethical challenges of using artificial intelligence (AI) in science, scientists have focused largely on opportunities. I argue that this disconnect between philosophical pessimism and scientific optimism is driven by failures to critically examine the practice of AI-infused science. To appreciate the epistemic justification for AI-powered breakthroughs, philosophers must analyze the role of A…
