Philosophy prof., Moral #philosophy, #techethics, hobby collector, @#northeastern
New year, new instance, similar intro: I'm a #philosopher mostly working in #techethics and #AIEthics in particular. Much of my previous work was on issues on moral status, welfare, and evolutionary biology. I lead AI and data ethics initiatives at Northeastern's Ethics Institute. You can find me at johnbasl.net.
Outside of philosophy, I collect hobbies and obsess over coffee.
Now accepting applications for #IDEAS2023 for undergraduate students!
Spend 14 expenses-paid days in #Boston (#Northeastern) or #SanDiego (#UCSanDiego) learning about the ethics and politics of "AI" & #datascience.
As we did last year, we especially welcome students from historically underrepresented and marginalized communities, including those from a wide range of educational institutions and disciplines (not just CS or Philosophy)!

As soon as I hit send on this, my empire crumbled....
The demonstrations of humanity's greatness are many. Some build monuments, some climb mountains. I come to you, at the end of a mid-semester week, my inbox completely barren. Look upon my works and despair!
I am really, really bad at posting on Mastodon. But I will get better, I promise, because Twitter is an ever-widening hellhole. In the meantime, here's a PDRA job we are hiring for at Edinburgh as part of our new UKRI AHRC Responsible AI Ecosystem programme! Please boost or toot or retoot or whatever we do here. If you or someone you know wants to work at Edinburgh with me (+ Ewa Luger + Ada Lovelace Institute), click below! Applications close Jan 18, funded to Oct 2025. https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1001/job/6111/?utm_medium=jobshare
Based on some scheduling issues and requests, we've extended the deadline for our summer training program for graduate students: https://cssh.northeastern.edu/ethics/summer-grad-training-program/
Please spread the word to interested parties!
Since it's graduate admissions season again, I thought I'd leave a little advice I give anyone going through this.
