Very, very happy to see this review of The AI Mirror from Financial Times today. Such a relief to have the first major review be this thoughtful, sharp and generous!

Our long awaited home in Edinburgh Futures Institute is so beautiful. The Centre for Technomoral Futures can’t wait to welcome our students, staff and visiting researchers into this amazing space. Gives chills!

No words, only nausea from the horror in Rafah.
There's no shortage of relevancy: use of AI; environmental impact; effects on foreign policy, global trust, international cooperation.

We cannot let horror be normal.

After all the AI tutor news lately, I wrote this on the 'oblongification of education' with references to Klara and the Sun and Apple's Crush! advert

'[T]he underlying ideology of 'superhuman' fosters the growing devaluation of human agency and autonomy and collapses the distinction between our conscious minds and the mechanical tools we’ve built to mirror them': noemamag.com/the-danger-of-… @shannonvallor

The AI Mirror is published in two weeks; can’t believe it’s finally almost here. I’m kicking off the book promotion tour with talks next week in London at Being Human in the Age of AI and in Hay-on-Wye from 24-27 May at HowTheLightGetsIn Festival! You can grab an early copy there!

It was great to be part of this important paper on the effect of recipient age on prioritisation for liver transplantation in the UK. Come for the statistical analysis, stay for the ethical reflections on taking age into account in allocation decisions. thelancet.com/journals/lanhl…
