Excited for the official announcement of HAI Lab at the University of Oxford, due to launch in the Fall, which I will direct as the inaugural McCord Professor of Philosophy and AI. 🧵

The world creates moments when philosophy matters. 250 years ago, America's founders turned philosophy into law. Today, our revolutionary AI moment demands translating philosophy into code, to promote human flourishing. The Cosmos Institute launches to tackle this challenge:

Proud to present the first Catz Cosmos Lecture in Human-Centered AI, to be delivered by Turing Laureate Leslie Valiant of Harvard on October 24 at Oxford. 🧵

Electric launch event. Huge congratulations Philipp Koralus Brendan McCord 🏛️ x 🤖!!

📣 Final call for the Cosmos Fellowship 🏛️ x 🤖 Deadline: Tomorrow, Dec 1st at midnight CT. Let me share a 1-week hackathon Cosmos Fellows did earlier this month as part of their work at University of Oxford's new HAI Lab, led by Philipp Koralus.

Great to host Brendan McCord 🏛️ x 🤖 & the Cosmos Institute at Story HQ to discuss philosophy, AI, and human flourishing! Always an interesting group of folks who choose to spend their Friday nights in philosophical debates
