It was fun explaining my research on AI, meaning in life and Stoicism to a non-philosophical audience on Iliana Grosse-Buening's podcast, 'The Quiet Living Room'." Thanks Iliana for this opportunity. buzzsprout.com/1644283/147657…

I am honored to be presenting my book on meaning in life at "Lindentalk," moderated by Michael Rüsenberg, in Cologne tomorrow evening (7:30pm, Buchhandlung Kaiser). It is a public event and it would be lovely to see some friends there in order to do some philosophy together.

Next Friday our group is hosting @JMMoenig, who will talk about what human-centered AI is supposed to be about. Info for this and other talks at philtechtalks.netlify.app/upcoming/julia/

My group is hosting a workshop on the ethics of AI in scientific research. If you know people who might be interested, please pass along the link: philtechtalks.netlify.app/workshop/

Excited to share a new paper on sustainable AI and meaningfulness within my Meaningful AI project. A heartfelt thank you to my colleagues in Bonn, Juelich, Nuremberg, Porto and Stellenbosch for their invaluable feedback on earlier drafts and presentations. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
