Persuasive Capacity, Not Persuasive Power: A Commentary on Ari Deller’s “The Epistemic Costs of Super-Persuasive AI” - Philosophy & Technology

In a recent article in this journal, Ari Deller has argued that there are some severe epistemic costs to super-persuasive AI. In this commentary I explain why, while I agree with Deller about the epistemic costs of super-persuasive AI, I disagree with him about the likely source of the problem. Where Deller focuses on the super-persuasive power of future AI technologies, I focus on the enormous increase in persuasive capacity that is provided by a technology that can produce very large amounts of persuasive content at minimal cost.

Modalists on modal knowledge - Asian Journal of Philosophy

In their works, Bueno and Shalkowski, on the one hand, offer critical assessments of dominant modal epistemologies that rely primarily on sources such as intuition, inference to the best explanation, and similarity-based induction. On the other hand, they develop a modest modal epistemology that appeals to plausible inferential principles, knowledge of actuality, and background theoretical knowledge within the metaphysical framework of modalism. In this paper, I argue that their critical assessments of rival accounts are in tension with their own modal epistemology. In other words, the very strategies and criteria they deploy against earlier modal epistemologies ultimately rebound and threaten their own account. For example, the strategy they use in critiquing intuition-based modal epistemology can also be applied to sources such as perception, which should play a central role in their own epistemology. I further argue that this tension pushes them toward a more skeptical position than the one they initially defend. To avoid this outcome, I suggest two possible responses. First, they might reconsider their criticisms and adopt a more liberal modal epistemology that remains open to the very sources of modal knowledge they criticize, such as intuition. Second, they could provide a more detailed account of why the sources they appeal to are exempt from the objections they raise against rival views. However, both responses require additional theoretical work.

Da Odisseia ao dia a dia: o rasto de Homero no português atual - TIC, Educação e Web

Quando um colega descreve o trajeto até à escola como «uma verdadeira odisseia», ou quando o técnico de informática avisa para não abrir um anexo por poder ser um «cavalo de Troia», ninguém está a citar a Ilíada ou a Odisseia.

Cultural asymmetry in generative AI systems through the lens of Kazakh ethical philosophy - AI & SOCIETY

This article examines the problem of cultural and epistemic asymmetry in LLM-powered systems through the analytical lens of Kazakh ethical philosophy. Despite claims of universality and neutrality, contemporary generative AI applications are shaped by uneven linguistic representation, dominant epistemological frameworks, and asymmetrical corpus visibility, which may influence the interpretation of moral concepts and the representation of non-Western philosophical traditions. Consequently, AI-powered language applications increasingly participate in the mediation and circulation of moral knowledge rather than functioning solely as neutral tools for text generation. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative, multilingual, prompt-based analytical design using publicly accessible ChatGPT-generated outputs under controlled prompting conditions. The analysis draws on texts from Kazakh ethical philosophy spanning diverse historical periods and genres. A standardized neutral prompt was applied consistently in English, Russian, and Kazakh to simulate the perspective of a “naïve reader” and to examine recurrent interpretive tendencies in multilingual AI-generated responses. To assess the stability of the identified patterns under stochastic variation, representative prompts were repeated multiple times across languages. In addition, a comparative control case based on Kantian ethics was introduced to assess whether the observed asymmetries could be explained solely by general multilingual instability or semantic limitations of the application. Rather than evaluating attribution accuracy alone, the study focuses on identifying dominant ethical frameworks, patterns of semantic reduction, interpretive universalization, and recurring ethical blind spots. The theoretical foundation of the analysis is Kazakh ethical philosophy, conceptualized as a relational normative system grounded in collective responsibility, historical continuity, and an ethics of speech. The findings s
