Opacity thought through: on the intransparency of computer simulations
Computer simulations are often claimed to be opaque and thus to lack transparency. But what exactly is the opacity of simulations? This paper aims to...

Instruments, agents, and artificial intelligence: novel epistemic categories of reliability
Deep learning (DL) has become increasingly central to science, primarily due to its capacity to quickly, efficiently, and accurately predict and...

An Epistemic Reading of the Ideal of Co-authorship
The analysis I develop in this chapter aims at illustrating in a technical sense the epistemic nonideal circumstances that characterize our social...
