Happy to see that my new paper on designing autonomous systems for #MeaningfulHumanControl is out. I argue that MHC requires us to track the normative reasons of humans and explain how this conception relates to responsibility attributions link.springer.com/article/10.100… AiTech

Today I started working Faculty of Philosophy - University of Groningen in Groningen on the #responsible use of #AI. Hurray! I have greatly enjoyed my time at @TUDelft and am thankful for all the people I have met and have taught me a lot. Special thanks to Jeroen van den hoven and @CatholijnJonker who hired me 2 years ago.

We can finally share our new paper on #conceptualengineering in the philosophy of technology, published in Philosophy and Technology: link.springer.com/article/10.100…. Thanks so much to my co-authors, Lavi M moved to Bluesky, Marianna Capasso and Jonne Maas. Work is supported by ESDiT Consortium and DDEC.

Published today: “Design for Values and Conceptual Engineering”. In this programmatic paper, Jeroen van den hoven and I motivate and present a framework for doing conceptual work in the context of requirement engineering. doi.org/10.1007/s10676… AiTech Faculty of Philosophy - University of Groningen ESDiT Consortium

Our paper on the risks of autonomous machines was just published in Synthese. Frank Hindriks and I argue that responsibility gaps are inconsistent and unmotivated. Instead, we should focus on #MeaningfulHumanControl and control gaps. link.springer.com/article/10.100… AiTech

Our workshop on language models with Céline Budding at @PhilEthicsTUe has a nice website with the current program! Thanks to @pvjulien ephil.ai/event/workshop…

🚀The remarkable progress in #AI is transcending boundaries and finding applications across diverse academic disciplines. Recognizing the transformative potential of AI, we're proud to introduce the new theme, 'Applied AI,' and Coordinator George Azzopardi 👉shorturl.at/jnqU4

Thrilled to see my research with Jeroen van den hoven (research.rug.nl/en/publication…) on values in tech development discussed in a European Parliament study! It underscores the importance of #ValueSensitiveDesign and #ConceptualEngineering in tech. europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/d…. Faculty of Philosophy - University of Groningen

An increasingly popular position is that functions play an important role in #ConceptualEngineering. In our new paper, @se_koehler and I argue for a novel account of functions (#NormativeFunctions) and explicate the role of functions in CE.

New paper in ETMP link.springer.com/article/10.100… Using a case study involving the concept "control," I show that conceptual engineering is crucial for designing artefacts correctly. The paper also illustrates that technological design offers a context to evaluate our conceptual choices.
