Perfect storm incoming for EU this morning. Positively minded people will tell you that EU has often come together in face of crisis. But the geopolitical crisis that is going to come is not at all of the sort Europe can deal with well. Disintegration is more likely than ever.

The disappearing agent problem (philosophy of action) is basically the exclusion problem (philosophy of mind). That's at least how it seems to me. Paper just out in Inquiry. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

It should never take an act of Congress to get regulators to take action to improve #safety, especially when “Safety” is in the name of your organization. Lives are at stake. cbsnews.com/news/congress-…


so stoked that this is out: a kind of causal story on how managers, commanders, leaders are responsible for things that are carried out on their orders link.springer.com/article/10.100…


Re lethal autonomous weapons (LAWS): This story made clear that the ethical issue isn't the autonomy of the weapon system but the "autonomy" of *target acquisition*. Not sure what a ban on LAWS achieves when automated target acquisition runs wild 972mag.com/mass-assassina…

Against “Democratizing AI”, by @jhimmelreich "The main upshot of this paper is hence a call for a reorientation: The issue is perhaps not whether AI should be democratized but how. The call to “democratize AI” should not emphasize only participation." link.springer.com/article/10.100…
