“AI is what economists call a general-purpose technology. We can do many things with it… But if we embrace techno-optimism uncritically or let the tech industry set the agenda, much of the potential could be squandered.”

Today, the European Commission revealed some details on the AI Office. It is essentially a repackaging of the old AI directorate. The Director will remain Lucilla Sioli. There will be five units for a total of 140 people - 80 of which still have to be recruited. 🧵 1/5

Josiah Ober and John Tasioulas make a compelling case for adopting an Aristotelian framework centered around the concept of human flourishing or the good life, for #EthicalAI . There are 3 questions I hope they will address in their upcoming paper for the Lyceum Project: 1/4

We're less than a month out.

Human intelligence 'has long been considered the locus of the special value' existing in all humans but not in artefacts and non-human animals. But if AI can 'replicate or even out-perform human intelligence, where would that leave humans?' oxford-aiethics.ox.ac.uk/blog/why-ai-ne… John Tasioulas⬇️

It has been very interesting to hear John Tasioulas apply the thinking of Aristotle to these new problems over the last year or so. I encourage everyone to take a look at the below.

Among the many interesting claims here - that for AI to achieve its economic potential, there needs to be a re-orientation of the tech industry's priorities away from general human-like conversational tools to informational tools that can assist a variety of kinds of workers.

Artificial Intelligence presents extraordinary opportunities but also serious ethical challenges. How best to think about and meet those challenges? John Tasioulos and Josiah Ober explore some competing ethical frameworks and propose an Aristotelian one. Fine philosophical work.
