Machine learning pushes the frontiers of algorithmic achievements, though the strive for state-of-the-art performance often obscures the fragility of enforcing decisions among uncertainty. This talk interprets machine learning within Karl Popper’s epistemology and assesses machine learning paradigms’ fit for falsificationism and argues that the new interpretation can improve robustness by guiding the design of how AI is deployed in practice. Though the price is to accept unambiguous decisions, the restriction of the outcomes still adds value. The context for our work is established by comparison with similar techniques and highlighting its limitations.
