Logicism is the thesis that mathematics is reducible to logic and analytic truths. It has a long history, going back to Frege, Russell, and Whitehead, but it was subsequently rejected by others. In this recent paper, Hannes Leitgeb, Uri Nodelman, and Edward Zalta offer a new defence of logicism.

🎥 Who gets the credit, or the blame, when AI makes decisions? Sven Nyholm ( #LMU/ #MCML) reflects on how AI challenges our ideas of agency, credit, and blame — and why we need new ways of thinking about authorship, justice, and decision-making. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUqi... #AI #Ethics

To determine whether an AI system has free will, we shouldn't look for any mysterious property, ask if the system is unpredictable, or expect its algorithms to be indeterministic. We should ask: are there explanatory reasons to view the system as a choice-making agent with alternative possibilities?
