nice story on the Regester Lecture that @jttiehen and I delivered last week and our work connecting the use of AI romantic companions to philosophical discussions on consciousness

looking forward to giving a talk “Griefbots: Memory, Imagination, and Artificial Intelligence” tomorrow during Homecoming and Family Weekend

[Justin Tiehen @jttiehen]

Listen to @AriTubert and I discuss our views of “existentialist risk” and AI value alignment with Reid Blackman on his Ethical Machines podcast: https://t.co/oUnXDr8Udt

[Justin Tiehen @jttiehen]

A new paper by @AriTubert and me in Phil Studies on AI safety: “Existentialist Risk and Value Misalignment.”

The main idea is that a capacity for misaligning your own values across time is essential to human intelligence. But then…

PANEL TIME! Can AI be your friend? We're finding out now from Stone Addington (Humanities WA), @jttiehen & @AriTubert (both @univpugetsound), and @ShanenBoettcher (@AI21Labs)

[Ariela Tubert @AriTubert]

check out our paper (w/ @jttiehen ) "artificial intelligence, value alignment, and moral revolutions" https://t.co/F7rDlwknB5

[Justin Tiehen @jttiehen]

A new paper by @AriTubert and me in Inquiry on artificial intelligence, value alignment, and moral revolutions. The guiding idea is that there are limits to whether value alignment is a good thing. It can interfere with attempts to improve our own values. https://t.co/XucdR8GJT2

I am excited that @jttiehen and I have been awarded an NEH grant under the new program Dangers and Opportunities of Technology, it’s for our book project on existentialism and artificial intelligence @NEH_ODH @univpugetsound

[National Endowment for the Humanities @NEHgov]

Giving people the ability to opt out of recommender algorithms is a great step toward #CognitiveLiberty. But there’s a lot more we need to do. See what I recommend in ⁦@WIRED⁩. https://t.co/nfzINExYWP

[Ariela Tubert @AriTubert]

My essay “Existential Choices and Practical Reason” is now available at Inquiry https://t.co/QjtL2ANPQ4

glad the College Board is not budging… it’s nonsense for legislatures to try to determine the details of curriculum

[Inside Higher Ed @insidehighered]

The state’s decision to bar the inclusion of lessons on gender identity and sexuality prompts the @CollegeBoard to withdraw recognition of the course. https://t.co/ZKb6KfiiuZ

[Ariela Tubert @AriTubert]

@JustinCaouette @GreggDCaruso yes but “hard incompatibilists” reject free will whether determinism is true or not (term by Caruso and Pereboom, I believe)

[Ariela Tubert @AriTubert]

still thinking about the interesting discussion by @GreggDCaruso this morning at #PacificAPA about AI responsibility gaps… if one is a hard incompatibilist then there are no gaps, given that nobody is really responsible… though perhaps there may still be accountability gaps?

[Ariela Tubert @AriTubert]

@Angry_Cassie @GreggDCaruso agreed on accountability, that was part of the point I was making (maybe not clearly enough), the discussion was more focused on responsibility though it touched on accountability and whether accountability gaps are more easily filled than responsibility gaps (if there were any)

[Ariela Tubert @AriTubert]

certainly a lot more in each session and now excited to read the books I haven’t yet

[Ariela Tubert @AriTubert]

I attended three great book sessions at the #PacificAPA, here is a bit about them…

[Ariela Tubert @AriTubert]

third, the one on Andreou’s Choosing Well: The Good, The Bad, and the Trivial… great discussion here too, Bratman said maybe we can add plans to instrumental rationality; Andreou replied that plans are judged by relational and categorial rationality so can’t be part of it
