Ethicist. I tweet about research, social issues, reptiles, video games, & nonsense. Views my own.

Just received my author’s copy of the edited volume where y’all will find my latest chapter.

The chapter is titled “Recognizing Human Flourishing in the Context of Disability”, which I co-authored with @ProfTimSUBC

The book officially releases December 14, this year.

@MarrensMusings HAHA, OLD!

[J. Joseph, PhD @BioethicsBeau]

This is why people hate GTA drivers so much. None of y’all actually know how to drive… and it’s not a “city drivers” thing either, y’all are just bad at it!

[J. Joseph, PhD @BioethicsBeau]

I drive a bright yellow car, and yet somehow everyone and their dog hits it.

Twice someone scratched the right side at my old apartment in Oshawa, this past winter I got rear-ended badly at a stop light, and today someone scratched the front while it was parked in a parking lot

Fire alarm was just tested in my building. I am extremely sensitive to loud noises. I was also hyper focused on something for work. This is the result of that combo.

Notice the white mask registers as a face even on the cover of the book.

There are a few limitations of our analysis, primarily due to the scope of the literature we surveyed. Namely, we did not include non-Western canons.

This was a conscious choice as we wanted to ensure our analysis was relevant to the Canadian medical and social contexts.

From here, we provide an example of how collective language choices and social conceptions of a good life harm disabled folks by seemingly precluding them from flourishing.

We concluded by responding to criticisms, focusing on lived experience and the phenomenology of illness.

@davidbyrnetwo Congrats!

[Daniel Wyzynski, HEC-C @DanielWyzynski]

Thrilled to have been part of this paper led by @theMichaelBalas and @BioethicsBeau exploring the potential of #ChatGPT4 to support ethically challenging scenarios in #healthcare!

Check out the findings and some of the strengths and limitations we found:

[J. Joseph, PhD @BioethicsBeau]

The results we found demonstrate two things:

(1) these models cannot replace or replicate the expertise of ethicists,

but,

(2) these tools may be able to help the ethicist parse complex information to allow more time for their own applications of nuanced ethical principles.

[J. Joseph, PhD @BioethicsBeau]

Excited to announce the latest publication I’ve worked on, “Exploring the potential utility of AI large language models for medical ethics: an expert panel evaluation of GPT-4”

Stick around for a briefing on what we learned. #AIEthics #ClinicalEthics

We found that while an LLM could perform highest in technical and non-technical clarity, it struggled with depth and providing acceptable responses.

This emerged mainly in the form of a general misapplication of the nuanced moral principles.
