Nicolas Sarkozy will soon publish memoirs from his 20 days in prison. A couple of years ago, we wrote a paper arguing that income from such a book is an indirect benefit of crime. Nobody should benefit from crime, and the income from that book should therefore be forfeited.

New paper out in Episteme! We shouldn't regulate everyone spreading disinfo online — but we can regulate superspreaders. My argument: those with epistemic power (10k+ followers) who deliberately spread disinformation should face criminal liability. 🔗 doi.org/10.1017/epi.2026.10107

📘 My book Ethics in Human-like Robots (Routledge) is now Open Access! Thanks to funding from the University of Helsinki, the full book is now free to download. It explores the ethics of humanoid robots, anthropomorphism, design choices, and the risks of deploying human-like machines in society.
