How to Humanize AI with Abstraction – The Abs-Tract Organization – Medium

In another paper, Computational Thinking is Critical Thinking: Connecting University Discourse, Goals, and Learning Outcomes (2016) points out that abstraction is common to both computational and critical thinking. The author (Kules) essentially makes the case for bridging the two types of thinking. The clear definition of computational thinking quoted below is helpful. Similarly, the Venn diagram below demonstrates the overlap between creative and critical thinking, which programming just happens to inform. There is'abstraction & simplification' right in the center. I'll be the first to admit, "abstraction" might be impotent if you can't appreciate the complexity of it.
