Fair point that can just as easily, and more urgently, be inverted: why don't those building AI for $subject actually engage with the foundational $subject literature? Including the histories of ethics, discrimination, etc in $subject domain...https://twitter.com/jackclarkSF/status/997512143695241217 …
Did you notice that governments are not formed by social scientists? Would you think that is a failure of governance or social science? I suspect the field is still fundamentally broken.

Sorry I don't think I get your question. In my personal view, a good government employs people of all fields so their strengths can be combined; technocrats, subject matter experts, people who understand public policy, statisticians, reps of all segments of the population, etc.

Are you saying that soc science is fundamentally broken because it conflates facts with ideology? I'm actually a historian first, and I do agree with that. But we take it in the opposite direction: Objectivity is not possible, we can only try to make a convincing argument.
