@JasonDanely @VanderbiltUP @AbeFellowship Congrats Jason! Looking forward to reading it!

Great news! My book, "Waiting for Robots: The Hired Hands of Automation", is now available for pre-order. It's the culmination of years of research with my friends and colleagues, and despite the most recent data—plot twist—the robots are still a no-show. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…

Really appreciate Andreas Bischoff's attentive and insightful review of my book "Robots Won't Save Japan" for Symbolic Interaction @SIJournal

@SIJournal many thanks @SIJournal for letting me know - I'm able to access it, and very grateful to Andreas Bischoff for his attentive review

@JamesRadaJr @JamesRadaJr I'm not aware of very much data on care robot use in the US, although I haven't followed the literature recently. One article that has more of a US focus and is worth a read is: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

@jms_wright Read your article about care robots in Japan. Is there data on their use in the U.S.?

Continuing the conversation on the Ethics of Ai at our Policy Dialogue Event— it was wonderful meeting with the #AIExpertsWithoutBorders (AIEB) Network yesterday, following our Global Forum in Slovenia a few months ago.

Happy to announce the publication of a chapter on AI and care with Grace Whitfield and @kateameliah, part of the newly released Handbook on Public Policy and AI!

Delighted that my article "The Development of AI Ethics in Japan: Ethics-washing Society 5.0?" has been published open access in East Asian Science, Technology and Society (EASTS) and is available here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@cristina_elisav Many thanks for letting me know about this @cristina_elisav - I'll see what we can do to remove the duplication

UNESCO’s Ethics of AI team is recruiting! We're looking for 6 experts to contribute to cutting-edge projects on the ethical governance of AI across the following workstreams (please note the deadlines for applications are 16-17 April):

@davetaz @danbri Hi @davetaz this is because these are consultancies rather than salaried positions due to the nature of the funding. As a very rough indicator, those interested in applying may consult this document (under “rates of remuneration for consultants”): ich.unesco.org/doc/src/07082-…

@jms_wright @danbri Clearly they need some ethics advisors to tell them about the unethical impacts of not posting a salary range with a job advert.

@KellerScholl Hi @KellerScholl this is because these are consultancies rather than salaried positions due to the nature of the funding. As a very rough indicator, those interested in applying may consult this document (under “rates of remuneration for consultants”): ich.unesco.org/doc/src/07082-…

If you have any questions about the roles, please contact the Ethics of AI Unit at admin-ai-ethics@unesco.org. Please share widely!
