Hello AI KR CG folks, Ontologers and SW people from all walks of life
I have been thinking of some meaningful wishes to send out in relation to
AI KR in the context of the Winter festivities.The closes relevant topic
that comes to mind is
Knowledge Misrepresentation in History
https://www.socialstudies.org/sites/default/files/publications/se/6003/600310.html
and
Bias in Historical Description, Interpretation, and Explanation
Debates among historians show that they expect descriptions of past people
and events, interpretations of historical subjects, and genetic
explanations of historical changes to be fair and not misleading
https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Bias-in-Historical-Description%2C-Interpretation%2C-and-Mccullagh/5e9ef86edd2c7b955606ba45fdf981feef713b14

When designing intelligent systems, we use knowledge from various
repositories
and databases, the quality and validity of which is not always questioned,
especially
in the case of long term historical perspectives which form the basis for
many widely held views.
Today, as we celebrate the important and sometimes debated (problematic
even as described by some!!!) historical events surrounding the birth of
JC, we should remember misrepresentation in history, and how
misrepresentation is deliberately designed to manipulate history
The articles above are mere pointers to the topic not endorsed nor
exhaustive, and intended as mere reading recommendations
Let Bias and misrepresentation not spoil the festivities, but let's remain
aware that history does not always warrant celebration and let's remind
ourselves, what is there really, to celebrate hoping that everyone gets at
least some.
Happy and meaningful winter holidays!!
In wisdom
