what does @tonychemero.bsky.social's new book 'Intertwined Creatures' have to offer to the “AI consciousness” debate? here is my take on it www.nature.com/articles/d41...

nature.com

Can AI ever be conscious? The question stems from a misconception

A book outlines how the fields of artificial intelligence, psychology and philosophy have neglected a key aspect of consciousness: the body.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Just submitted a BBS commentary (w/ @edbaggs.bsky.social) on the paper "Let’s go WILD: Increasing Inclusivity in Theories of Developmental Psychology" To make psychology more inclusive we need to confront the WEIRDness of our methods & metatheoretical commitments! preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Snapshot of the preprint of our BBS commentary titled "Ethnographic methods can help psychology overcome its WEIRD problems" containing the abstract, which reads: "We are persuaded by Bard et al.'s argument that cross-cultural work in psychology requires not only a greater diversity of participants but also a greater diversity of theories. We encourage the authors to consider that the solution lies not only in improving experimentally-oriented theories, but also in adopting non-experimental methods, including purely ethnographic methods."

Latest paper co-authored with @guicogsci.bsky.social We argue that behavior settings and cognitive institutions complement each other and that ecological psychology will profit from integrating cognitive institutions into its conceptual toolkit. Open access in Topoi: doi.org/10.1007/s112...

@moritz-bammel.bsky.social and @guicogsci.bsky.social discuss the possibility of extending radical embodiment to human social collectives. They compare two established approaches: behavior settings theory and the extended cognition notion of cognitive institutions link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I'm happy to announce that this September I'll be joining the University of Murcia (Spain) on a Saavedra Fajardo grant for a 5-year research project followed by a tenure track professorship! Really looking forward to the project (more info soon) and to working with great friends there!
