MINT is recruiting PhD students! Get in touch now to start making a plan—keen to support folks looking to work on the moral and political philosophy of data and AI ( https://t.co/KI7F21vJIO)

Here's how a seemingly trivial design change can totally alter the character of a social media app. A few years ago Twitter changed the relatively neutral ⭐ button to a positive ❤️. Ironically, this may have worsened Twitter's tendency to propagate outrage. Why is that?

In our latest story, we look back at the inaugural #TorontoSRI Faculty Fellows: Kristen Bos (@TRU_UofT), @thesasho, @nsrg_shah, & @karinavold, and the work they did to build bridges between disciplines and forge new areas of research. Read: https://t.co/aGrNEFUeef

Great opportunity here!

Topics were the site of predictive justice, the need for contextual and dynamic consideration of algorithmic fairness, and interventionist theories of discrimination. Here’s to many more such events, and thanks to @HarvardEthics for organising and hosting!

PAIS had its first in-person workshop @HarvardEthics ! Papers from @uhlily @sinafazelpour and @sethlazar with responses by @joshsimonlabour, @jenlads and Will Fleisher. We forgot to do a group pic but here’s a candid shot :)

"@paisnetwork's goals align with ours: to draw on the rigour and depth of philosophy and the humanities in addressing the critical moral and political questions posed by the rapid rise of AI," says @JTasioulas of @EthicsInAI
