I thought I'd just slide away into retirement. But others, especially @shaiagmon.bsky.social to whom I'm incredibly grateful had other ideas. So he's assembled an extraordinary cast of philosophers to make sure I actually do retire.

In light of the increasing reliance on opaque algorithmic systems in decision-making, many theorists and legislators have made calls for a right to an explanation. Here is our paper arguing against this! It will be published in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research.
