“Satellite imagery now documents systematic patterns of infrastructure destruction at spatial resolutions and temporal cadences that were unavailable during the atrocities of the twentieth century. Whether and how such data may enter bioethical deliberation, however, remains under-theorized. Quantitative remote sensing produces damage percentages, not normative claims, and bridging the two without committing an is-ought fallacy requires an explicit epistemological procedure. The contribution developed here is normative and epistemological rather than empirical. A six-component admissibility framework integrates, for the first time, geospatial evidence, population-level bioethical principlism, and the coherentist verification epistemology of political fact-checking into a single reproducible procedure for the bioethical use of satellite imagery. The first component specifies evidence admissibility criteria tailored to bioethical rather than strictly legal use. The second requires coherentist triangulation across methodologically independent remote sensing studies. The third operates as a bioethical relevance filter mapping infrastructure categories onto population-level social determinants of health. The fourth operationalizes principlism by translating health justice, accountability, solidarity, and sustainability into measurable geospatial observables. The fifth establishes ethical representation safeguards against voyeuristic or dehumanizing uses of destruction imagery. The sixth demands explicit epistemic humility regarding uncertainty, data missingness, and attribution limits. The Gaza conflict provides the case in point. Two independently produced geospatial studies, one based on SAR coherent change detection and one on very-high-resolution optical analysis, converge on extensive damage to civilian healthcare, water, sanitation, and educational infrastructure, and thereby satisfy the coherentist triangulation requirement of the framework. The resulting inference licenses bioethical claims of systematic survival infrastructure degradation while preserving transparent boundaries between what satellite evidence can and cannot establish about genocidal intent…”

Zoomposium with Dimitri Coelho Mollo (Assistant Professor in #Philosophy of #Artificial #Intelligence):

"How Intelligent is Artificial Intelligence?"

His #research focuses on #fundamental and #epistemological #questions within artificial intelligence and #cognitive #science, and seeks ways to improve our understanding of #mind, #cognition, and intelligence in #biological and #artificial #systems

Dear God, I thought we were swirling down the #epistemological toilet *before* all the #LLM crap hit the scene.

This is really, really, really bad.

#AI Art is Remix - The DJ’s of Pictures

My new piece on how we can develop an #epistemological framework for AI art that fits our cultural sensibilities by revisiting the academic discussion sampling, hip-hop and techno musics sparked in the 1990’s through early 2000’s.

Changes in mass production technologies always prompt changes in societies. We will need new ideas and new legislation, and the literature to quote from largely exists.

#AmWriting #Remix #AI #Art

AI art is a #remix.

We’re experiencing the throes of a #epistemological #crisis because we don’t have culturally sanctioned place for it.

DJ’s, techno music, festival art, light shows, they have never fit the current #art paradigm.

Here comes #AI, the #DJ of pictures.

at least some of our established# beliefs about the world are absolutely #certain, so they can be legitimately called "#facts".

these beliefs are #commonsense.
