Bicycling on the Moon: Collective Tacit Knowledge and Somatic-limit Tacit Knowledge
区分了两种隐性知识:身体限制隐性知识源于人体和大脑的局限,不影响机器编码;集体隐性知识则根植于社会集体,人类独有的能力使其能获取这种知识,而机器无法做到。
The idea of tacit knowledge plays an important role in many areas of academic debate, not least automation and its role in management. Here it is shown that tacit knowledge comes in two distinct types, with different causes and consequences. The first kind, ‘somatic-limit tacit knowledge’, has to do with the limitations of the human body and brain and has no consequences for encoding knowledge into machines. The second kind, ‘collective tacit knowledge’, is more ‘ontological’ than biological, having to do with its location in the social collectivity. Here the human body and brain’s unique capacity gives it special access to the tacit knowledge; known and foreseeable machines do not have this capacity.
