Who is morally responsible when organizations and businesses employ AIs that cause harm? Together with my colleague Lauritz Munch, I'll lead a new research project answering that question for the next 3-4 years. Thanks to Independent Research Fund Denmark for funding the project!

Rent nytteetisk så har jeg svært ved at forestille mig, at din lidelse på X kan være større end den nydelse vi andre får af at læse udklippene derfra. Så jeg siger ikke, at du skal blive på X. Jeg siger bare, at du muligvis er moralsk forpligtet på at blive på X.

De sidste par uger har børnene insisteret på at høre Witch Doctor med Cartoons ("Uh Ih Uh Ah Ah..."), når vi skulle til og fra børnehave. De er dog ikke psykopater, så de syntes heldigvis, at det blev lidt kedeligt i længden. I stedet arbejder vi os nu gennem deres samlede diskografi. Inkl. remix.
