When Machines Have All the Answers, Build Better People
Vivienne Ming
Ming wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal in April summarizing her research on how to use AI to make better predictions and learn about the world.
In essence, her research suggests that we should develop two key virtues when we use AI: perspective-taking and intellectual humility.
This interests me because these two virtues are also central to the cultivational mindset. AI may extend our ability to model the world, but it does not remove the need to recognize the limits of our own perspective or the limits of our models.
