Briefings
This article argues that human-centered AI should model the ambiguity of human interpretations rather than relying on a single ground truth. Published as a position paper on arXiv, it calls for shifting AI development to distinguish meaningful ambiguity from annotation noise. The authors suggest that current machine learning assumptions of a definitive truth are flawed for tasks where multiple valid interpretations exist simultaneously.
Key points
- The authors propose a shift in AI development to model the interpretation space of plausible human judgments instead of assuming a single definitive ground truth.
- The paper argues that reducing ambiguity to a single target risks overlooking meaningful information about human perception diversity.
