Teaching AI Ethics

Update: since I wrote this original post covering the nine areas, I've expanded each one into a complete article. Have a read through this post, and then when you're ready to dive deeper into AI ethics, check out the full series here. If you linked to this post as part of a course or university resource, I suggest updating your links with the complete series. https://leonfurze.com/ai-ethics/ As we head into the start of Term 1 it's already looking like Artificial Intelligence is going to be […]

"[Mathematical science] has for its object the indirect measurement of magnitudes, and it proposes to determine magnitudes by each other, according to the precise relations which exist between them." – Auguste Comte (1798-1857)

"La science mathématique [a pour but] la mesure indirecte des grandeurs, [...] on s'y propose constamment de déterminer les grandeurs les unes par les autres, d'après les relations précises qui existent entre elles." – Auguste Comte (1798-1857)

I have a physics (or perhaps maths) question that one been thinking about for a while, and I'm hoping someone here could shed some light on it.

Why is it that everything in the universe appears to fit in a scale that is on the order of roughly 10-80 to 1080? In maths, you can easily come up with problems where the solution goes way beyond what exponential notation can describe (Grahams number is one such example) but in the real world, everything seems to fit in 100 orders of magnitude.

Is there something fundamental that causes this? I know this might be more philosophy than physics, but surely people have thought about this?

Historians Say They've Discovered a Long-Lost Page From the Archimedes Palimpsest, a Treasure Trove of Rare Ancient Mathematical Treatises

Three leaves had been missing for more than a century. Researchers found one of them when they decided on a whim to check the archives of a French museum
