Predient el passat: una crítica filosòfica de l’anàlisi predictiva

Main Article Content

Daniel Innerarity

Si abordem aquest tema des d’un punt de vista conceptual i crític, hem d’explicar tres tipus de qüestions: 1) per què les prediccions són massa sovint correctes, 2) per què, a la vegada, s’equivoquen tan sovint i 3) quines conseqüències sorgeixen del fet que els nostres instruments de predicció ignoren almenys quatre realitats que han de ser correctes sobre les previsions futures o almenys ser conscients dels seus límits: a) que les persones no poden ser totalment subsumides en categories, b) que el seu comportament futur tendeix a tenir dimensions impredictibles, c) que aquesta propensió no és el mateix que la causalitat i d) que les societats democràtiques han de fer que el desig d’anticipar el futur sigui compatible amb el respecte per la naturalesa oberta d’aquest.

Paraules clau:

anàlisi predictiva, intel·ligència artificial, algoritmes, democràcia, futur, llibertat
