Today I’m taking part in the Workshop on Agentic AI at Friedrich-Alexander University. With Anna Puzio, we present our paper ‘Agent or Companion? Relational Ease as a Design Hazard in Agentic AI Systems’ on the ethical risks of bonding with artificial entities.

Nicolas Sarkozy will soon publish memoirs from his 20 days in prison. A couple of years ago, we wrote a paper arguing that income from such a book is an indirect benefit of crime. Nobody should benefit from crime, and the income from that book should therefore be forfeited.

I recently spoke on @rmf24.bsky.social , a nationwide Polish radio, about my @erc.europa.eu grant. One of the questions concerned Assimov's laws, and in response, I explained why I do not find them helpful in scientific discussion. www.rmf24.pl/nauka/news-p...

Today I was on the morning show of TVP2 (Polish Television), talking about ethics and the law of robots. Among other things, I answered the question: what is wrong with kicking a robot?

Our paper in International Journal of Social Robotics is out!
🤖 Instead of defining “robot,” we propose treating them as members of a robot kingdom—like animals in the animal kingdom.
Clearer, more flexible, & saves time in robotics debates.

The AI and Collective Agency workshop just kicked off at the Institute for Ethics in AI, Oxford. Presenting a paper with Pekka & Raul — born in Helsinki, polished on a branch in the bushes. Perfect academic conditions 🙂

Heading to Oxford tomorrow for the “AI and Collective Agency” workshop at the Institute for Ethics in AI. With Pekka Mäkelä & Raul Hakli, we’ll present Guilty, but less — on how working with AI/robots affects human criminal responsibility. Can’t wait for the discussion! 🙂

Next Monday, I’ll run a workshop at the University of Silesia: Scientific Career Planning. I’ll share my path across disciplines—rewarding but challenging. Academia praises interdisciplinarity, yet often stays mono-disciplinary. Still, I love working at the edges.
