The article, "AI's Constructed Reality: Beyond Neutrality and Towards Democratic Objectivity" by Dr. Jerry A. Smith, argues that scientific objectivity in AI is a human cultural construct rather than an inherent discovery. Smith references Immanuel Kant's philosophy, distinguishing between phenomena (things as they appear to us) and noumena (things as they exist independently), to illustrate how our minds actively structure experience. This framework is then applied to AI, demonstrating that every aspect of AI development, from data representation to training objectives, embeds human values and perspectives. The author asserts that the myth of AI neutrality leads to hidden biases, concentrated power, and a lack of accountability, advocating for "democratic objectivity" through transparent documentation of value decisions, diverse evaluation, and stakeholder contestation to ensure AI systems serve human flourishing.
