The Tension Between Inscrutable and Engineerable Technology in Machine Learning and Public Health
2:24:02 - 2:36:11 (12:08)
The tension between inscrutable and engineerable technology exists in both machine learning and public health, particularly in the age of Twitter. This poses a challenge for public health officials to balance caution with effective messaging, while machine learning is still resistant to application papers despite its impact in the real world.
