D. Araiza-Illan et al., "A Road Map for Responsible Robotics: Promoting Human Agency and Collaborative Efforts," in IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, vol. 32, no. 4, pp. 12-24, Dec. 2025, doi: 10.1109/MRA.2025.3620148 ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11236…

So pleased that our paper on empowerment and causal models is out and freely available as part of this impressive special issue on world models and AI, with Melanie Mitchell, Josh Tenenbaum, Tom Griffiths and many other stars. royalsocietypublishing.org/rsta/article/3…

@GaryMarcus It’s so lovely see the resurgence of real cognitive science (and cognitive scientists such as Gopnik, Tenenbaum). Pleased to be passed the awful “attention is all you need” phase.

pleased to be in this and encourage everyone to read:

@pgodfreysmith @IAI_TV Nice PJS—and timely

Link here to a preprint of my short article about consciousness, "biological naturalism," and electrical brain rhythms published by @IAI_TV earlier this year. Preprint: petergodfreysmith.com/wp-content/upl… Original (no longer open access): iai.tv/articles/studi…

@anilkseth @berggruenInst @NoemaMag @magnifymedia @Medium A pleasure to read your essay Anil—from one 90s cognitive scientist (Rutgers) to another. The history of the philosophy of mind is having a public moment. Let’s hope your good work raises the interest in (and quality of) arguments about consciousness. Keep up the good work!

@berggruenInst @NoemaMag 3/2 - there's an extremely generous write-up of my talk by Steve Rosenbaum @magnifymedia in his @Medium column: stevenrosenbaum.medium.com/anil-seth-dont… 🙏🏽🙏🏽

1/2 Why AI is unlikely to become conscious – my 2026 @TEDTalks is now online. What do you think about the prospects for 'conscious AI'? ted.com/talks/anil_set…

You think you know what belief is? No! At best you have an accidentally true opinion, unless you've read @jontweetshere's and my edited collection, The Nature of Belief, hot off the press at OUP. (Also available open access at OUP's website.)

A military operation is currently underway around Caracas and other parts of #Venezuela. There are sure to be operations in areas where there is no one with social media as well. Like all military operations, first reports are likely to be misleading and plain wrong. There are some things we do know [Update] 1/9🧵

#Geneva hosts the 34th International Conference of the #RedCross and #RedCrescent. Amid armed conflicts, the time to act is #now. 🇨🇭, as the depositary of the Geneva Conventions, calls on all nations: #humanity needs more than words; each state must take responsibility to implement #IHL and build a future of #security and #respect. 🗣️ bit.ly/4hggYpE @ICRC @ifrc #RCRC24

Drone operations are a new chapter to modern warfare. With Ukrainian and Australian expertise, Dr Oleksandra Molloy summarises lessons learnt from UAS use in Ukraine, recommending considerations by Army and Defence. researchcentre.army.gov.au/library/occasi… #AusArmyResearch #UncrewedSystems #UAS

Join my awesome colleage @skdevitt at #ADSTAR today to consider how to measure human-centred military use of AI today (Wed 18/9) 1:30-3:00pm Trusted Autonomous Systems - Be Assured in the Menzies Theatrette 🤖

The Explainable AI workshop is underway at @IJCAIconf . Elisabeth André kicks it off with her keynote on counterfactuals, semi-factuals and alter-factuals, channelling Robert Webb from Peep Show

Exciting news from @QUTRobotics. Led by Aaron McFadyen and Guilherme Fróes Silva and in partnership with @Boeing and @FlyFreelyIO we're thrilled to be part of the Australian Government’s Emerging #Aviation Technology Partnerships program. #airspace #airsafety #drones #tech

Yesterday, the @QUTRobotics had the honor of hosting our Adjunct Prof S. Kate Conroy, who shed light on the crucial topic of "Using AI Safely and Responsibly in Government." A huge thank you to Kate for sharing her expertise, and to all who joined us! #AI #Government #Ethics

I'm hiring! Two postdoctoral research fellows at @UQ_News (Brisbane, Australia), to pioneer human-centered decision support in collaboration with @UQMedicine. Post 1️⃣ Human factors, HCI, or psychology Post 2️⃣ Human-centered machine learning Details: uqtmiller.github.io/recruitment/

@toni_erskine @IPAAACT Great to work with you @toni_erskine

It was wonderful to have a wide-ranging chat with @IPAAACT on 'decoding ethical AI in Defence' - and a particular pleasure to participate alongside the superb Dr @skdevitt (one of my go-to experts in this area)!

@WarintheFuture @AustralianArmy @3BrigadeTSV I really like how your knee is in synch with the soldiers around you 😌

Thank you to the soldiers, NCOs and officers of the @AustralianArmy Combat Training Centre and 3rd Brigade for your awesome hospitality over the last couple of days. @3BrigadeTSV
