There is critique, and then there is critique. Whatever our position let's hold several thoughts in our heads at once now. Yes, current AI has limitations. But it’s restructuring work in ways that are hidden if our only move is banging the “AI is all hype” drum. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

For those I've been discussing this with earlier - a new version of the AI/AGI and the social contract paper. Feedback very much appreciated. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Great fun seeing this new article out in AI & Society. In it, Enya Rogerson and I explore the futures of global governance, AI and, climate change. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

What is the role of AI in relation to environments? “Saviour” or “destroyer”? Both, but also more, as I here focus on how AI systems can *mediate* and *infiltrate*. This article is part of my “Tools for writing for thinking” project, and was originally handwritten! academic.oup.com/edited-volum...

The problem of democracy (and AI)! There are many, I suppose, and we discuss them in this new episode of Pondering AI! Always a great pleasure and helpful to discuss the issues I'm preoccupied with in this manner. AUDIO | pondering-ai.transistor.fm/episodes/ep79 VIDEO | youtu.be/2hj0zBd4HDw?...

What's the value of academic articles and doing research? The product or the process? This article has been a long process, and how I've processed the ongoing AI disruption of research. I use it very little, and while it's clearly not all bad, I argue for caution. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

August cover of CACM just dropped, and it’s my article. 😳 It’s about Twitter/X and how we should seriously consider the power - and obligation - we have to effect change when we’re aware of harms and have the capacity to influence others. Action AI Ethics! cacm.acm.org/research/to-... @acm.org

The environmental impact of AI seems to be quite elusive. But there are standardised methods we could draw on to help improve our analyses. In this conference article, Kari-Anne Lyng and I present the LCA method and discuss how it can be used to assess AI impacts. doi.org/10.1007/978-...

New blog post in @acm.org's Blog. About writing things (like blog posts). "It feels like my writing—and thus my thinking—is under attack by the creeping and ubiquitous implementation of various LLMs into all of the tools that I use." I look to the past for protection. cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/too...

Sometimes social media meaningfully connects people. It connected me with @evanselinger.bsky.social a couple years ago, and we’ve written some pieces together. Yesterday, however, we happened to be able to meet up in Paris!

Here's a thing very long in the making. Several years, in fact. Judging from my own experience, there is still a need to thoroughly evaluate whether, how, and to what extent we should use generative AI in research. Really appreciate input on this preprint! 🙏 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... #ai

To preprint or not to preprint? AI ethics is a field where people with very different backgrounds meet. And very different publication practices. In this article, I take stock of the benefits and challenges for the AI ethics field, and seek common ground. doi.org/10.1145/3699... @acm.org

"AI should not replace all interpersonal aspects of human deliberation. AI should complement it and support it, but not replace the messy and seemingly inefficient—but quite essential—relational work of democratic engagement." New post in the Communications of the ACM: cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/com...

We're seeing an ESG backlash, and many large actors are shying away from using the term ESG, and by extension even references to sustainability and DEI. However, it might be worth putting up a fight and not immediately giving in. Let me know if you want a copy! doi.org/10.1108/S156...

Thank you, GPAI, for the chance to participate at the GPAI Summit 2024! I was fortunate enough to be a panelist on the session on Navigating AI Risks: Ethics, Safety, and Global Implications. The panel can be seen at this link: www.youtube.com/live/dISgWOj...

Bluesky is far better than current alternatives. Who knows what it will become. I'm treating it as a welcome respite. A place where it's possible to log on, get updates from great people, and feel good about it. I don't expect it to be perfect forever. Money comes knocking. Resist, and enjoy.

Complicity - a nice book on accountability and the limits of individualised approaches to responsibility in collective action. This is "increasingly complicated by regrettable things brought about through our associations with other people or with the social, economic, and political institutions."
