Excited to be heading to Amsterdam to present some work that @loehrgui.bsky.social and I have been sketching out on AI assertion. We suggest that some AI chatbots might be answerable, thus rendering them capable of asserting. Strange stuff. #philsky #AIethics www.pt-ai.org/2025/program...

Short answer: yes, emotions can sometimes be unfair to others; yes, those others can sometimes appropriately blame you for them; but blame can be resolved. Long answer: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mono/10.4324/9781003498032/unfair-emotions-jonas-blatter #philsky #philosophy

Last week, a group of our BRAID researchers led by Dr Paula Westenberger & Dr Anna-Maria Sichani submitted a response to the UK govt #copyright & #AI consultation, advocating for the rights of creatives & transparency in AI development. Read the response: zenodo.org/records/1494... Well done team!

Earlier this month, we visited the University’s Easter Bush campus for a thought-provoking workshop on how data ethics applies across their key themes of Sustainable Agriculture, Infectious Diseases and Enhancing Health. Read our blog post about the experience and key takeaways! ▶️ edin.ac/4hUL3Lh

Thrilled to announce our new BRAID demonstrators. Two projects exploring responsible/equitable use of AI in the #CreativeSector. A third exploring AI’s #EnvironmentalImpact. Groundbreaking projects embedding Arts & Humanities alongside AI expertise. #ResponsibleAI edin.ac/3WNBzZY

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

As BRAID researcher @ftollon.bsky.social says, they did a thing! New paper exploring the ways specific epistemic legacies and supply chains of labour shape AI practice & governance. edin.ac/4goqJAu @benedetta.bsky.social @sj-bennett.bsky.social

Latest from the special issue I’m guest-editing with @ludovico-rella.bsky.social for AI & Society—a fantastic piece by @benedetta.bsky.social, @sj-bennett.bsky.social & @ftollon.bsky.social: “Everybody knows what a pothole is”: representations of work and intelligence in AI practice and governance

We did a thing! It's good! Read it!!!!😡

With the global push for AI innovation there's never been a better time for international collaboration on responsible AI. We start the new year with a #BRAID call for collaboration between UK and US institutions: www.ukri.org/opportunity/... #responsibleAI #funding

AI will be "mainlined into UK's veins". Make it stop make all of it stop. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

I'm doing a final BOOK GIVEAWAY for my biography of Henri Bergson, Herald of a Restless World. For a chance to win and find out why a philosopher's lectures caused the first ever traffic jam on Broadway *share this post and tag someone in the comments*! I'll announce the winner on Monday Dec 23!

Very unserious institution. www.scotsman.com/education/co...

In their #aiglossary entry, @ftollon.bsky.social and Anandi Hattiangadi share some thoughts about the implications of the ongoing agency turn in AI development.

Not a great time to be a philosopher. Will start trying to do “research with economic benefits” from now onwards. www.science.org/content/arti...

Good to be reminded that there are things we just can't know and that's okay. aeon.co/essays/scien...

I'm giving a talk this Friday at The Uppsala Vienna AI Colloquium on 'Responsibility Gaps and Technology: Old Wine in New Bottles?', based on my paper with Ann-Katrien Oimann onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Register here to attend (online): forms.office.com/e/1MxRxDRfW5 #Philsky #AIethics

I just got the best news! My paper on virtue ethics and situationism has been accepted for publication in the South African Journal of Philosophy. I'll be sure to share it here once it is out, so make sure to watch this space. #philsky #philpsych #psychsky

#BRAID researcher @ftollon.bsky.social contributed to this fabulous new resource, an AI Glossary informed by #philosophy So beautifully put together. www.aiglossary.co.uk #AIethics #philsky

I was really fortunate to be able to help out with some of the entries in this AI Glossary. It's perfect for people like me with short attention spans. If you're looking for clear and concise definitions of key concepts and ideas in AI, look no further! #philsky #AIethics www.aiglossary.co.uk

Writing a teaching statement is harder than writing a research paper fight me on this

Looking forward to speaking at this workshop on the philosophy of risk next month in Helsinki

Seeing as there quite a few more folks around in This Place now, I thought I'd share this again. If you think responsibility gaps are about advanced technology, think again! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

👏 👏👏 @edinburghminute.bsky.social

An essential read and vital call to support community tech: “The UK does not need to rely only on trickledown and spillover mechanisms to distribute the benefits of innovation, we could also nurture the vibrant, regenerative network of organisations already building technologies from the ground up.”

This week’s seminar is with Dr Peaks Krafft, Lecturer in Computational Sociology and BRAID scoping project member, hosted by @shannonvallor.bsky.social #BraidUK #ResponsibleAI #ai #tech

We are thrilled to announce the BRAID Artist Commissions Open Call, encouraging new ways to think about today’s AI. Artists will receive a £10,000 budget to develop their work & will be showcased during the Edinburgh Art Festival 2025 at @inspacegallery.bsky.social 🎨 braiduk.org/artist-commi...

This pleases The Line

We're excited to see this new article from BRAID postdoctoral associate @ftollon.bsky.social - a great read on responsibility gaps and how we think about responsibility in general 💡 #BraidUK #ResponsibleAI

Very happy to finally have this article out in the world! It's one we've been working on for a while, and I'm really proud of the result. Check it out if you're interested in responsibility and technology! @braiduk.bsky.social @technomoralfutures.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Interested in virtue ethics and emerging technology? New article on whether virtue ethics can 'handle' the situationist challenge, and what this means for emerging technology link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Seems like Musk is attempting to take legal action against OpenAI, Altman, and Brockman. At issue seems to be the Founding Agreement of OpenAI, which Musk claims Altman and Brockman have undermined. This should be fun? www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/u...

Back in Germany after 6 months away and the UK's rail system is just so woeful in comparison and it makes me sad (not to say the German system is Good but it is Functional).
