As I write my book exploring whether scientific experimentation can be automated, I once again come back to Duhem's good sense, about 20 years since I wrote my dissertation on it, later to evolve into my first journal article and eventually this book. www.cambridge.org/core/element...

My new piece 'Energy, Ethics & Sustainability: Towards an Integrated Environmental AI Ethics' is out and available to read here #AI #EnvironmentalEthics #Sustainabilty #Climate newn.cam.ac.uk/newnham-news...

Fantastic paper which captures so much of what I have also found deeply problematic behind the misplaced narratives on the promises of GenAI in education. Absolute must read. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

By drawing on moralism debate in philosophy of art and the argument from the imaginative resistance, I offer conditions under which we can find value in AI generated art, despite our moral objections to AI. #SpringerNature #AI #Art #Philosophy #AIEthics link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Is #AIart really art? The end of art? Bad art? I explore how artistic exploitation, data bias and environmental cost can prevent us from engaging with AI art. Yet, I argue that artists can employ this immorality well, helping us overcome our imaginative resistance. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Should environmental interests feature in the development and deployment of #AI ? Can feminism inform our answers to this question? At the Rosalind Franklin Women in STEM Conference I look into what a promising Integrated Environmental AI Ethics could look like 💚@newnhamcollege.bsky.social

Excited to go back to my HPS roots with this new Unit I designed on all things Henri Poincare! From conventionalism, structuralism, values in science, creativity, aesthetics, he continues to be my biggest inspiration and I can't wait to teach this course in the Fall www.ice.cam.ac.uk/course/under...

So honored that my work was mentioned on ABC National in Australia! AoS comes in around 7:30min 💗 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

I really loved making this book with the wonderful @srdfrench.bsky.social and am so happy others value it. So grateful to Chiara Ambrosio for writing this review, which bring me to tears every time I read it (and I do read it often enough in my impostur moments). www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I am thrilled to be part of the Rosalind Franklin STEM Conference at Newnham College dedicated to the question: What’s next for Green Energy? In my talk 'Energy, ethics and sustainability' I will be exploring the ecological cost of AI and present a new integrated approach to environmental AI ethics.

I am so sad to hear that Micheal Friedman has passed away. It is hard to put into words how much impact he made on our field. His Dynamics of Reason inspired my PhD thesis, which he later examined, offering invaluable guidance. He led with so much kindness and generosity, great loss for our field.

I regret to information the Bluesky philosophy community that Michael Friedman, noted philosopher of science and ground-breaking historian of Kant, neo-Kantianism, and logical positivism has died. May his memory be a blessing. #philsci

What is the role of surprise in science? In this paper we offer the first empirical analysis of surprise drawing from interviews with 215 scientists and show that surprise is often experienced as an aesthetic response, framing its properties, triggers and outcomes. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
