In addition to conceptualizing AI and offering a regulatory framework, the paper discusses the critical components of attention, arguing that attention requires interests. "Interests" have gone out of fashion in philosophy of mind, but we make the case for their centrality. The paper is open access!
In hyping up the potential future capacities of AI we are losing track of what it means for us now, losing the chance to best make use of its power. Should AI companies be able to extract from the collective without compensation? Should users be able to use the collective without acknowledgement?...
Do you ever wish you had a tool that would allow you to combine your mind with others? In this *just published* paper @mainomenous.bsky.social and I argue that AI is a tool that enables collective attention, rejecting the idea that it is a standalone agent + philosophymindscience.org/index.php/ph...

Conscious Attention as Agency
The subjective privacy of consciousness is insufficient to explain how we coordinate action. We succeed at action-coordination because we jointly attend to the world.

New publication with Azenet Lopez on the difference between consciousness and attention within the Integrated Information Theory. We believe that analyzing this issue across views can help us advance the debate on the nature of consciousness: rdcu.be/egj8T #consciousness #attention #information
