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/full/10.11…

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!

@Nahla__B :(

I just got a call from a medical center saying they're ready to schedule me based on a referral from my PCP. The referral was sent eleven MONTHS ago. How are people supposed to get timely medical care? This is not even taking into account the financial constraints.

Our paper is included in this recent special issue with @JoanneKuai @ProfKarlsson and @SethCLewis

Two of my articles are among the Top 3 Most Read in @djeditorialteam. I am immensely grateful to the brilliant coauthors I have the privilege to work with on these projects and the editors, reviewers, and many colleagues who offered constructive comments to improve the works.

Authors @JoanneKuai, @beboller1, @ProfKarlsson and @SethCLewis examine how China is undergoing societal platformization; their study of 'Jinri Toutiao' illustrates dynamic interplay with state, regulations, and society. ➡️tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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. rdcu.be/dj34K
