From the Vault: Technology and AI
While Justice Everywhere takes a short break over the summer, we recall some of the highlights from our 2024-25 season.
Here are a few highlights from this year’s writing on a the ethics of generative AI, the philosophy of technology and related issues:
- In a thought-provoking post, Emilia Kaczmarek discussed her recently published article in the Journal of Applied Philosophy (as part of our ongoing collaboration) in which she explores the ethical implications of self-deception in emotional relationships of humans with AI entities.
- We also featured several posts this year reflecting on the impact of AI on the academic profession. In one great example, Sanat Sogani considers whether we should still expect students to demonstrate (and be tested for) writing skills in a world were GenAI may well soon be able to produce high-quality writing.
- Anca Gheaus builds on Sanat’s argument and considers how to adapt her teaching to the lure of ChatGPT (and similar programmes).
- In another post in our collaboration with the Journal of Applied Philosophy, Karl de Fine Licht, however, argues that while there are real problems and concerns surrounding GenAI, banning it is often not the right approach.
Stay tuned for even more on this topic in our 2025-26 season!
