Paper formalizes why AI and humans reach different conclusions from same data

This paper introduces a formal framework to explain why individuals or AI systems can reach different conclusions from the same set of observations. It proposes two levels of non-identifiability: divergence in conclusions due to differing inference settings, and divergence in the learned world models themselves. The authors define an 'inference profile' to model these differences and connect the framework to concepts in deep representation learning, using AI regulation debates as a case study. AI

IMPACT Provides a theoretical lens to understand and potentially mitigate disagreements in AI decision-making and human-AI interaction.

    Why Conclusions Diverge from the Same Observations: Formalizing World-Model Non-Identifiability via an Inference

    When people share the same documents and observations yet reach different conclusions, the disagreement often shifts into a judgment that the other party is cognitively defective, irrational, or acting in bad faith. This paper argues that such divergence is better described as a …
