AI agents acting on behalf of human principals are supposed to lead us into a new age of productivity and convenience. The eloquence of AI-generated text and the narrative of super-human intelligence invite us to trust these systems more than we have trusted any human or algorithm ever before.</p><p>It is difficult to know whether a machine is actually intelligent because of problems with construct validity, plagiarism, reproducibility and transferability in AI benchmarks. Most people will either have to personally evaluate the usefulness of AI tools against the benchmark of their own lived experience or be forced to trust an expert.</p><p>To explain this conundrum I propose the Intelligent AI Coin Thought Experiment and discuss four objections: the restriction of agents to low-value decisions, making AI decisionmakers open source, adding a human-in-the-loop and the general limits of trust in human agents.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/politicalscience" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>politicalscience</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ThoughtExperiment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThoughtExperiment</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Benchmarks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Benchmarks</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Validity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Validity</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Plagiarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plagiarism</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Reproducibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reproducibility</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Transferability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transferability</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Decisionmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decisionmaking</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Intelligence</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LargeLanguageModel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LargeLanguageModel</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algorithm</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a></p>
Björn Brembs<p>It's been known for quite some time that more prestigious journals publish less reliable <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a>. Now two papers provide compelling empirical evidence as to potential underlying mechanisms:</p><p><a href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/733398" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1</span><span class="invisible">086/733398</span></a><br><a href="https://academic.oup.com/qje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/qje/qjaf010/7997678" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">academic.oup.com/qje/advance-a</span><span class="invisible">rticle/doi/10.1093/qje/qjaf010/7997678</span></a></p><p>The gist of the story is that scientists are so afraid of being scooped that they cut corners. Corner-cutting is rewarded by hi-ranking journal publications and the successful authors then teach their students how to get ahead in science.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/reproducibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reproducibility</span></a></p>
