Revolutionary Mathematics: Artificial Intelligence, Statistics, and the Logic of Capitalism

Justin Joque, visualization librarian at the University of Michigan and author of Revolutionary Mathematics: Artificial Intelligence, Statistics, and the Logic of Capitalism, explores the impact of algorithms on financial systems and discusses the consequences of relying on digital systems for decision-making. He delves into the differences between frequentist and Bayesian statistical models, examines capitalist realism and its limitations, and highlights the history and use of statistical models in relation to capital.
