Ik deel vandaag in @destandaard een kritische blik op de sociale media ban voor -16 jarigen in Australië.
We beschrijven sociale media als de 'ziekte' van de samenleving. We maken het zo een medisch risico, wat het politieke debat verdooft.

Vandaag verscheen mijn opiniestuk in @demorgen.be. In het stuk reageer ik op Vlaams minister van Media Cieltje Van Achters analyse van sociale media als de “nieuwe verzuiling”. Ik betoog dat deze metafoor te eenvoudig is.

🔍 How do we experience social media algorithms? Is there such a thing?
My latest article in Minds and Machines challenges the black box metaphor and uses phenomenology to rethink algorithms. Happy to discuss!

🎉 New article out in AI & Society!

🔍 My article challenges the idea that algorithms replace human judgment. Instead, they mediate the human-world relations in which judgments and self-reflection arise.

💬 Happy to discuss!

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access.

It was the nicest surprise to receive the students’ award for best teaching assistant in our philosophy program at @UAntwerpenFLW. I’m sure that I learn at least as much from my students as, I hope, they do from me.

To the public, Microsoft uses its reputation as an AI & sustainability leader to tell a compelling story: AI will do wonders to help solve the climate crisis. To fossil-fuel firms, Microsoft has a different message: AI will help them drill, baby, drill. 1/ https://t.co/NBQD6h86RJ
