Are there good agency-related reasons to think it pro wrong to exclude potential offenders from public areas to prevent crime?

I take up this question in my first contribution to the project “Situational Crime Prevention and Ethics”.

Second, we suggest that the specific error-profile of the AI makes a big difference for our moral assessment even if using it reduces the total number of errors. This is because the harm of false-positive errors and that of false-negative errors are often not morally on par.

@EthicsThSoebirk, Jesper Ryberg and myself have a new paper out in Journal of Medical Ethics on the ethics of using AI to detect doping users in sport!

[Sebastian Jon Holmen @SebastianJonHo1]

First, it is not clear that the current anti-doping legislation is morally defensible. If it is not, then catching more violates of the legislation is obviously not morally desirable.

Want to do a PhD on ethics of AI in sentencing or know someone who might?

Come work on a cool project in a great research environment in DK.

A real pleasure to discuss the nature and ethics of exclusionary design of cities and its impact on vulnerable people with such great people! A special thanks to @OleBJensen3 and @A_Albertsen for participating, and @EthicsThSoebirk for arranging the seminar.

@birchlse @briandavidearp @juliansavulescu What @anderssandberg said. Also, I am not even sure how to define “having a concept of truth” in a way that does not imply that LLMs have it if I have it and vice versa. But perhaps that only shows that I lack imagination (maybe something a LLM could help me with?).

[Sebastian Jon Holmen @SebastianJonHo1]

@jyleephilosophy Yeah, I didn’t know either until we had to register our names😅

[Sebastian Jon Holmen @SebastianJonHo1]

@jyleephilosophy I still publish under my orginal name. However since you can’t have two surnames in DK, my partner and I took her name as what is technically a middle name (Vollmer Holmen seemed better to us phonetically than the reverse), I suppose I really haven’t changed my surname.

Så glædeligt at erfare at RUC er det universitet der har den største relative stigning i ansøgninger. De nye studerende kan se frem til at blive en del af et visionært universitet, som ruster dem til fremtidens udfordringer.

@MarcelloIenca Looks good, Marcello! Looking forward to reading it!

(Warning, self promotional content incoming: perhaps you will find this piece of mine interesting https://t.co/re2lFgm6wh)

[Sebastian Jon Holmen @SebastianJonHo1]

@williambulow86 @StefanFSchubert Good observations! Also, you might think (like me) that it depends on what CP we have in mind, and what the alternative is. It may, for example be morally better to put an offender one day in the pillory than 6 months in jail for, say, a drug offense.

@Mobbiii Håber det gik godt😊

@PhilosophyShep In the fields I work in (neuroethics and criminal justice ethics) one of the very hot topics is the moral and legal foundation of a right to cognitive liberty. Somewhat related are questions (which i find very interesting) regarding digital nudging/persuasive technologies.

[Sebastian Jon Holmen @SebastianJonHo1]

@jowrotethis From Denmark. In danish we call it danskvand which directly translated means “Danish water”. Supposedly we started calling it this in the 1930s to distinguish it from “Swedish water” (a kind of red soda).

[Sebastian Jon Holmen @SebastianJonHo1]

Good observations by @JCBublitz about the implications (both narrow and wide) and limitations of the Fasting Judges study.

[Christoph Bublitz @JCBublitz]

Catching up reading, an interesting study on Fasting Judges came out in Nature Human Behaviour some weeks ago. A variation of the controversial Hungry Judge study. Bottom line: Judges become more lenient through fasting. Anything to learn for law? 1/

@xphilosopher I probably *should* do neither absent more information (e.g. how the media chooses stories, etc). I probably *would* update toward thinking it more likely given how irrational I usually am.
