Had a wonderful day in Toronto yesterday. Participated in a roundtable with faculty and students and gave a lecture on AI in medicine at the JCB. Lovely dinner with good friends after capped a marvelous visit.
In case this got lost in the weekend, please check out our new paper #philsci #bioethics #AI

A normative framework for artificial intelligence as a sociotechnical system in healthcare
Reliable, beneficial use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine requires the evaluation of its performance and the conditions that are linked with relevant outcomes. Rather than narrowly focusing...

It’s difficult to explain to non-ethics people how much of my professional life is basically dealing with people who don’t see any value in ethics (because they don’t understand what it might be) but who feel forced to engage with me because of some external requirement.
I just realized I’m giving a talk or doing some kind of presentation 6 of the next 7 days. I really need to replace the idiot who does my schedule 🙃
Wednesday we had the official ceremony conferring my new chair. Complete with physical 🪑. Honored to be recognized alongside @hoda-heidari.bsky.social and Brad Myers.
“I know that we’re short of time but luckily time stands still when I’m talking.”
Until they can show that the cyber truck offers protection from the arrows of outrageous fortune I’m still not interested.
The most frightening thing I’ve ever seen is how people will treat one another. There is no need for devils and demons when you have seen the works of a callous heart.
Please follow the @center4philsci.bsky.social. We will be posting about the events at the Center for Philosophy of Science at Pitt! Share widely. #PhilSky

For many, the old standbys feel like a waste of time. Workers are instead embracing more meaningful activity on the go.

I find this is true of my best collaborations—that they are part of a process of discovery that requires real trust and the ability to move outside of your own ego and to be open to being changed.
Berna Devezer@devezer.bsky.social · 3y agoI closely collaborate with my husband on research. The process is fraught. Involves nonstop bickering. We have different, at times completely opposing, perspectives and we clash. A lot. It's taught me a lot over the years and transformed my perspective on collaboration. 1/10

Huge accomplishment: I just drilled out a stripped screw and replaced the cartridge in my shower faucet. No leaks so far. This calls for a celebratory drink I think.

I guess the game is to move on to the next amazing approach before people catch up to the burst bubbles from the inflated claims about yesterday’s amazing approach. At least they note that radiology is still alive and kicking (cough, Hinton) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Things you hear when people at conferences find out you work at CMU: Oh, so are you a Bayesian? Oh, so do you work on causal discovery?

This should be the fate of all these recycles. Move on, people! You can’t relive it!!
Shannon Vallor@shannonvallor.bsky.social · 3y agoI just watched the first episode of the Frasier reboot. However bad you think it could be, you have no idea. It lmight be the worst 30 minutes of writing and acting ever broadcast. Spare yourself the agony.
