A Limit of AI, II: A Continuous Rate–Distortion Proof of the Certainty–Scope Conjecture
Floridi’s Certainty–Scope Conjecture holds that no artificial intelligence system can be simultaneously reliable on every input and broad enough to cover the full richness of unstructured data: reliability and breadth are in structural tension, and the tension is imposed by the finite information-processing capacity of any mechanism implementing intelligence. The Conjecture has until now been a ph
