abstract: Argues ML lacks robust epistemic warrants and proposes borrowing clinical translation standards as an analogical foundation Introduces 'generative analogy' (drawing on Hesse) to formally link clinical validation processes with ML system development Proposes a new reliabilist framework for ML that interprets clinical warrants—like reproducibility, incremental validation, and risk-benefit calibration—as transferable to AI systems

additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: No discussion of existing ML validation standards (e.g., NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001), no comparison to real-world clinical AI deployments (e.g., FDA-cleared algorithms), no acknowledgment of disciplinary resistance from ML engineers or clinicians
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: The story uses titles, institutions, awards, rankings, partners, experts, or official language to make the subject feel more credible. Watch for loaded terms such as epistemic warrants, clinical translation, reliabilist terms, generative analogy. The distribution reads as academic distribution. A pressure point: No discussion of existing ML validation standards (e.g., NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001), no comparison to real-world clinical AI deployments (e.g., FDA-cleared algorithms), no acknowledgment of disciplinary resistance from ML engineers or clinicians.
