Abstract / Description of output
The AI revolution provides a neat illustration of C.P. Snow’s point about the “two cultures” and a timely opportunity to reflect on why a cultural gap between the sciences and humanities persists. This chapter takes aim at an attitude prevailing among some computer scientists that ethics and AI ethics, as branches of the humanities, are unserious disciplines because they do not yield verifiable and quantifiable answers to the problems they address.
