Lecture at the conference "Courage and Conviction. Practicing Judgment", June 28, 2025
In the age of AI, judgment, like so many of our concepts, is redefined bit by bit, voided of scope, ethics, and affect. What is judgment, what do we want from it in law, war, and medicine; how does the repetitive encounter with AI diminish what we want of our own faculty of assessment and distinction? Through examples from bail setting, collateral damage estimation, and MRI diagnostics, my aim is to understand not just how we train artificial intelligence to make judgments but how it is retraining us to desiccate our own grasp of what judgment is.
