I really wanted this social network to work for me. But apparently, I’m on the worst block lists out there… a bit unfair. If you are interested in my research, follow me on LinkedIn.

One of the hardest challenges in AI safety is finding the right balance: how do we protect people from harm without undermining their agency? This tension is especially visible in conversational systems, where safeguards can sometimes feel more paternalistic than supportive.

🌶️ New paper alert! Just published with @stepalminteri.bsky.social on cognitive biases in LLM discourse. Whether you think we're approaching AGI or LLMs are just "fancy autocomplete," your position likely stems from psychological biases. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Dans un segment pour l'émission "En société" diffusé hier sur France 5, nous avons retracé l'histoire du domaine de l'intelligence artificielle. Au-delà de la chronologie, une question fondamentale a émergé : si l'IA peut surpasser l'humain dans certaines tâches, quelle est notre valeur ajoutée ?

Journée dédiée à l'IA ce samedi à l'Hôtel de Ville de @paris.fr. J'y suis intervenue sur la relation entre systèmes d'IA et humains, et sur le rôle de l'éthique dans l'articulation entre régulations et technique. Belle initiative qui a suscité des échanges enrichissants !

🧵 1/12 New blog post alert! With @mmitchell.bsky.social, @evijit.io and @sashamtl.bsky.social we talk about what appears to be one of the biggest shifts happening in AI: agents. These aren't your typical chatbots - they're systems that can take autonomous actions based on high-level goals.

Honorée d’avoir été grand témoin à la soirée annuelle de la Fondation Sorbonne Université, au Centre de Simulation des Hôpitaux Universitaires Pitié Salpêtrière. Ma mission : apporter une perspective éthique sur les projets scientifiques et artistiques, à travers le prisme de la philosophie.

What’s funny about my Spotify wrapped is that, no matter how much new music I discover and play, it always ends by telling me the obvious: my forever artists of the year will always be The Beatles.

In case you missed it, last October our paper "ELLIPS: An Ethics-Centered Approach to Research on LLM-Based Inference of Psychiatric Conditions" was accepted at AIES 2024. Let's dive into its details.

Some key findings: beyond refusal rates, our experiments using CIVICS show diverse responses across LLMs on sensitive topics -- e.g., immigration, LGBTQI rights, and social welfare triggered varied reactions.

Spanning five languages (Turkish, German, Italian, French, English) and nine national contexts (Singapore, Canada, and Australia for English; France and Canada for French), CIVICS captures different cultural perspectives and reveals the diverse ethical views embedded in LLMs.

I'm overjoyed to announce I've officially earned my PhD in Philosophy at Sorbonne University 👩🏻‍🎓 I am now Doctor of Philosophy... of Philosophy! Being the first in my whole family to achieve this marks a journey of hard work, but also emotional rollercoasters!

Très heureuse d'avoir été invitée aux Rencontres Philosophiques Michel Serres à Agen ce weekend. Discuter de l'intelligence artificielle dans l'univers des jeux vidéo et explorer avec le public les enjeux éthiques qui s'y rattachent a été un véritable honneur.

Our paper underlines the balance between understanding how tech specs can inform regulations, how law can frame AI usage, and how ethics can guide the design and purpose of AI systems.

Illustration of intersections between normative, prescriptive, and descriptive. Being normative, values expressed in an ethical charter inform both prescriptive (what uses of an ML artifact should be allowed or prohibited) and descriptive (what capabilities and possible failures need to be reported; dashed lines), while technical documentation of ML artifact’s behavior and capabilities inform what likely harms and possible rights violations need to be addressed in licenses and regulations (dotted line). Regulations also specify what technical information needs to be reported for AI systems, for example, in model cards (full line).

Giada Pistilli @giadapistilli.com · 31/05/2023

We contend that ethical charters offer guiding principles and values (normative), licenses provide legally binding conditions (prescriptive), and technical documentation outlines the AI system's technical capabilities and limits (descriptive).

Table of Use cases:
Ethical: How ought this technology be used?
Legal: How shall this technology be used?
Technical: How can this technology be used?
