Transparency in Complex Computational Systems
Philosophy of Science 87 (4):568-589 (2020)
Abstract
Scientists depend on complex computational systems that are often ineliminably opaque, to the detriment of our ability to give scientific explanations and detect artifacts. Some philosophers have s...Author's Profile
