Can you review ~4 submissions for AIES? The AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society has received over 900 submissions this year – rivaling the number of some general AI research conferences. 🧵

I'm excited to return to Princeton University today to celebrate the retirement of my doctoral supervisor, Chuck Beitz. Chuck's soft-spoken presence and methodical scholarship offered a refreshing counterpoint to the bombastic self-promotion and citation-chasing so prevalent in academia today.

My great-uncle Max Kozloff, noted photographer and art critic, died last week. Max was a key role model in my small family. His example showed me the value and possibility of living the examined life unapologetically and joyfully. I will miss him. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/a...

The math is clear: private #philanthropy cannot bridge the gap between low wages and decent living standards. In an analysis published today in NYT, NYU’s Hans Taparia and Bruce Buchanan demonstrate why relying on charitable giving to compensate for wage shortfalls is mathematically impossible.

#GivingTuesday is the perfect time to reflect on what it means to give well. Should giving prioritize outcomes or intentions? Should it fill gaps, challenge injustice, or enrich culture?

📣 Big news: I’ve signed a contract with Polity Press for a monograph, tentatively titled Recoding Democracy: AI and the Fight for Democracy’s Future. 📖 The #book will argue that #AI forces us to reassess what makes democracy valuable and how that value should be realized. 1/
