Decoding Alignment: A Critical Survey of LLM Development Initiatives through Value-setting and Data-centric Lens
AI Alignment, primarily in the form of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), has been a cornerstone of the post-training phase in developing Large Language Models (LLMs). It has also been...

Boiling here at home in Cyprus but I put the finishing touches a couple of days ago on this preprint: What Does 'Human-Centred AI' Mean? doi.org/10.48550/arX...
Wherein I analyse HCAI & demonstrate through 3 triplets my new tripartite definition of AI (Table 1) that properly centres the human. 1/n

wrote a thing for @jacobinmag.bsky.social trying to contextualise generative AI's deployment within capitalism's recent history — and what it means for labour
Knowledge workers, whose jobs involve handling information rather than producing goods, were supposed to be the beneficiaries of neoliberalism and globalization.
But generative AI and a hypercompetitive employment market is immiserating them too.

I’m thrilled to share that, starting today, I’ve officially rejoined the University of Copenhagen as an Assistant Professor.
I'm looking forward to new projects and collaborations, with a focus on expanding my research into computational social science. A new paper is coming very soon! 1/2
