Learning about cyborg plants as artwork with Dylan Cawthorne #robophilosophy2024

Having an amazing time at #robophilosophy2024. Yesterday I had lunch with @WendellWallach, and later I posed a question to @davidchalmers42 in his Q&A. Excited to see what today has in store!

Excited to be starting work as a Research Fellow in the Human Factors Research Group in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham! @UoNresearch @UoNCareers

Such a sad day in #Nottingham. Such pointless violence.

Great two days spent hosting our symposium on autonomous systems in healthcare at UoN. Really great coming together of minds (and tech!) #automedsoc23

Second up at PHD and postdoc session @IP_SAS Chat GPT and other creative rival’s conference is Karen Lancaster (Nottingham) on why AI should not generate real people’s statements (based on past statements) without their consent. The case of Michael Schumacher’interview’

Karen Lancaster’s conclusion about ChatBots writing interviews with celebrities and others without their permission. @IP_SAS conference on Chat GPT and other Creative Rivals

bbc.co.uk/news/education… This is just one of the many reasons why it's so unfair to have teachers dishing out A-level and GCSE grades. Just as I argued in this guest blog post for PESGB philosophy-of-education.org/exam-results-f…

One of our superb PhD students, Karen Lancaster, has just published an article exploring the ethics of sexbots, arguing that creating a lifelike sexbot of a particular person without consent is intrinsically wrong. See here: link.springer.com/article/10.100… #sexbots #ethics #openaccess

Back to @K__Lancaster for @PhilOfEdGB Blog series on assessment in the wake of the pandemic. Last commissioned piece (for now) in the series, but we're always open to further responses... Thanks to @K__Lancaster, @miriched, & @eternalunlearn. philosophy-of-education.org/exam-results-f…

I'm delighted to see that my article on sexbots made to look like particular people is now published in Ethics and Information Technology and available online: doi.org/10.1007/s10676…

Shout out to @wulfloh and @janina_loh for organising a great conference on emotions and robots today and yesterday. #robotethics

Many happy memories of seeing @officialnma at Rock City. We are locked together here in this bittersweet embrace. #40YearsOfRockCity

These hyper-realistic face masks will haunt you

Ugh. Ever checked out your symptoms? Fertility? Asked questions about abortion? The toxic data swamp now has them. And knows exactly you are. The ramifications of this are huge. Important new data investigation from @ft ft.com/content/0fbf4d…

@David_Gunkel I'm concerned that if this is available as an e-book, the robots will know all our methods of protecting ourselves from them.

All the cool kids already have their copy. Meanwhile...I await the arrival of the postman.

@Tesco I opened a packet of small bone dog biscuits (BBE Sep 2020) to find this giant slab of goodness-knows-what... and it had furry mould on it too. #nothappy

I gave a 2-hour guest lecture today on #Sexbots for the module on Philosophy and the Contemporary world at #UniOfNottingham. I was delighted to have been invited to speak, to share my research, and the lecture theatre seemed pleasingly packed out. #success

This is one of the worst kinds of #reincarnation. No #consciousness, just his image. His family may support it but did the man himself #consent?
