Hello Twitter! This is the new account for @sethlazar's research lab, Machine Intelligence and Normative Theory. Follow for insights into empirically- and technically grounded, philosophically ground-breaking, work on the moral and political philosophy of computational systems.

My @tedxsydney talk on automation/algorithms/AI in government decision-making is now available at https://t.co/Zvwgn2Log5. One item off the bucket list :-).

Hey are you working at the intersection of philosophy, society, and AI and related digital tech? Want to know/share about events, research activity, etc? With social media collapsing it’s time to get a listserv going again. Sign up here:

My take on the Twitter news in tomorrow's @FT : the problem isn't Musk himself, it's the idea of Musk.

And here are the mechanisms of counterpower: deliberative mini-publics, rights and standards, certification, professionalisation, tech tribunals, collective enforcement, and republican antitrust.

Jamie’s four principles of digital republicanism: preservation of basic institutions, reduction of domination, democratic sovereignty, and parsimony—minimise state intrusion.

With thanks to the Australian Academy of Science and the Machine Learning and Normative Theory Lab (@MINTresearchlab) being formally launched today by the great @sethlazar

Great to be back @Science_Academy with @jamiesusskind launching the MINT lab. @hmi_anu @anu_philosophy

Happening tonight! We’ll be officially launching MINT with a lecture by @jamiesusskind on the digital republic. What a day to have this discussion, given events on this website.
