How To Teach Machines In Artificial Intelligence? Technical Education In John Dewey, Gilbert Simondon And Machine Learning, Olivier Del Fabbro Jul 2022

How To Teach Machines In Artificial Intelligence? Technical Education In John Dewey, Gilbert Simondon And Machine Learning, Olivier Del Fabbro

Education and Culture

A society that uses drills and conditioning to train its machine learning models risks creating an alienated situation between human and machine in social life, as these teaching methods generate a lack of responsibility for the actions produced by such machines. Both John Dewey and Gilbert Simondon present conceptions and ideas that shed a different light on such alienated human– machine relationships in machine learning: that is, a critique of mere drilling and training as an educational method; the mode of existence of technical objects; and the importance of experience and practicality, for example, learning by doing.

Climate Change Around The World, Per Krusell, Anthony A. Smith Jr. Jul 2022

Climate Change Around The World, Per Krusell, Anthony A. Smith Jr.

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The economic effects of climate change vary across both time and space. To study these effects, this paper builds a global economy-climate model featuring a high degree of geographic resolution. Carbon emissions from the use of energy in production increase the Earth's (average) temperature and local, or regional, temperatures respond more or less sensitively to this increase. Each of the approximately 19,000 regions makes optimal consumption-savings and energy-use decisions as its climate (or regional temperature) and, consequently, its productivity change over time. The relationship between regional temperature and regional productivity has an inverted U-shape, calibrated so that the high-resolution model …
