Abstract

It has been argued that inductive underdetermination entails that machine learning algorithms must be value-laden. This paper offers a more precise account of what it would mean for a "machine learning algorithm" to be "value-laden," and, building on this, argues that a general argument from underdetermination does not warrant this conclusion.
