I teamed up with @annapuzio.bsky.social and @joshgellers.bsky.social to write this polemic response to recent criticisms of the relational turn in #AIEthics, including the recently published "Dangerous Liaisons" from Adrienne de Ruiter. @springer.springernature.com link.springer.com/article/10.1...

There is a new book on Social Robots and Cultural Sustainability, excellently edited by @raulhakli.bsky.social @svennyholm.bsky.social Marco Nørskov & Sladjana Nørskov! My chapter focuses on the importance of #relationships for #robots in #religious contexts doi.org/10.1007/978-... #ethics #culture

🇵🇪 Peru just provided empirical support for the RELATIONAL TURN that @coeckelbergh.bsky.social and I along with @annapuzio.bsky.social, @joshgellers.bsky.social et al. have been promoting for over a decade. Proof that you can do this WITHOUT first resolving the hard problem of consciousness.

Coming soon: *Social Robots and Cultural Sustainability*, edited by Raul Hakli, me, Marco Nørskov & Sladjana Nørskov. Featuring chapters by @coeckelbergh.bsky.social, @davidgunkel.bsky.social @annapuzio.bsky.social etc. Planned publication date: Oct 27, 2025 www.amazon.com/Culturally-S... #aiethics

Der neue #Papst Leo XIV. – ein Amerikaner! Was die ganze Welt verwundert und beschäftigt, löst in Kalifornien besondere Relevanz aus – und bringt die Frage nach der Künstlichen Intelligenz #KI ins Spiel. Eindrücke von @annapuzio.bsky.social und @afilipovic.bsky.social bei @feinschwarz.bsky.social:

Zu den Perspektiven der katholischen Soziallehre mit Blick auf KI habe ich mit @annapuzio.bsky.social gesprochen.

Für #Papst Leo XIV. ist der Umgang mit Künstlicher Intelligenz die wichtigste industrielle Revolution unserer Zeit. Theologin und KI-Expertin @annapuzio.bsky.social ordnet ein, warum #KI für den Papst so wichtig ist – und was christliche #Digitalisierung ausmacht:

Wird Papst Leo XIV. ein "KI-Papst"? Wie sieht die Wahrnehmung zum Papst in den USA aus? Statements von zwei Wissenschaftlern (Alexander Filipovic u. Anna Puzio), die gerade in den USA sind. www.feinschwarz.net/leo-xiv-ein-...

I published a new article on "AI & the Disruption of Personhood" in the Oxford Intersections doi.org/10.1093/9780... 👤 Can AI possess personhood or be part of our personhood? @esdit.bsky.social @utwente.bsky.social @utwentephilosophy.bsky.social #oxforduniversitypress #oupacademic #ethics #ai (1/4)

Ein PR-Erfolg war er allemal: Medien aus den USA und Indien diskutierten «AI Jesus» in Luzern, Besucher reisten aus München und dem Wallis an, um ihm ihre Fragen zu stellen. @annapuzio.bsky.social sieht im bärtigen KI-Jesus mehr Klischee als theologischen Wert www.nzz.ch/technologie/...

I’m visiting Imperial College (London) tomorrow. Is anyone around who might be interested in having a coffee-chat about ethics of technology, human-tech relationships, non-human entities, robots, LLMs, diversity, or New Materialism?

This is just a start. Additions welcomed.

This particular article is largely around Greg's book, but also @annapuzio.bsky.social provided some excellent quotes about robots practicing religion and has strong scholarship in that area.

Hello new platform. I like writing thinky tech articles with an ethical slant. @gregmepstein.bsky.social had a terrific book come out last month and I had the pleasure of interviewing him about his argument for reforming the religion of big tech. www.success.com/greg-epstein...

Happy and excited to be a Visiting Researcher at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University Cambridge! ❤️ Feel free to reach out if you're working on LLMs, agency (and knowledge production),(ro)bots, diversity, religion, or queer-feminism! #ethics #technology

Many thanks to Alberto Giubilini&Andrew Moeller for organising this great conference on "Biotechnologies, AI& Human Identity" in Oxford. 🤖 🪴My talk emphasized the need to rethink concepts like agency to better understand the non-human, such as technology, without always using human properties (1/2)

I'm glad that I presented my research on anthropology of technology and the entanglement with the non-human (Haraway, Barad) at the @esdit.bsky.social conference. My second talk with Michaela Honauer & Birna van Riemsdijk 'Dancing With a Robot' connected #robot #ethics, design & performance #art!🤖💃

In this article, I develop a New Materialist approach (#Haraway & #Barad) to the anthropology of #technology, focusing on a #relational and non-anthropocentric perspective that considers the entanglement with the non-human. link.springer.com/article/10.1... #ethics (1/2)

My reply to Joshua Gellers' comment has now been published. Gellers and I are discussing the consequences of an eco-relational approach for #ecologically responsible #robot #ethics. link.springer.com/article/10.1... I am very pleased with the ongoing discussion! 🔁 Read it here (thread) 🔽

In her latest article, @annapuzio.bsky.social proposes an “eco-relational” approach, advocating that in robot ethics, it is crucial to consider relationality to non-human entities such as animals and technology as a central concept from the outset. 👉 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

@annapuzio.bsky.social spricht mit mir über #KI und #Avatare nach dem #Tod. Spannend. @domradio.bsky.social

Can and should #robots have religious functions? New paper on #religious robots. Should #social robots in healthcare and education perform religious practices? I argue for including religious perspectives to expand and diversify the robotics debate. rdcu.be/dtn6p
