People wonder if we develop emotional connections with AI chatbots, will we become less human? My answer is, yes... We are robotizing ourselves and our societies... from robotization of work to robotization of domestic life to robotization of love... journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

I'm honored to be speaking at one of China's top universities when I lecture on AI and journalism next week at Fudan University in Shanghai.
In preparing my talk, I've enjoyed catching up with the amazing work that has appeared just in the past few months. So. Many. Reports!

Here is the actual link to the paper at Science and Engineering Ethics. Treating #AI like other technologies is not only limited but also misguided. Epistemic technologies are distinct from bulldozers, robots, autonomous vehicles/weapons, etc.

📢🚨My new paper, “AI as an Epistemic Technology” is now published.
I argue that the ethical/social implications of AI can only be truly accounted for if we understand that #AI is, unlike other technologies, first and foremost an epistemic tool.

In this video I wonder out loud about what it means to take/make/create a photograph in the age of extractive #ML and generative #AI, and talk a bit about going from lensless to sensorless cameras. My ~100y/o Kodak makes a cameo.
