Our sense of reality is intimately entwined with our interactions with other people. What happens when those interactions are instead with social AI? See my piece on (so-called) ‘AI-induced psychosis’ in The Conversation

AI-induced psychosis: the danger of humans and machines hallucinating together
We’ve always relied on friends and family to confirm our sense of reality. Now we’re increasingly expecting AIs to do it instead.

Our paper on AI-extended moral agency is out! We argue that cognition-shaping AI devices can alter their users' status as moral agents - by supporting or by undermining it. The paper is open access and will be part of Social Epistemology's special issue on the 'mind-technology problem'.
AI-Extended Moral Agency?
In this paper, we ask how ‘cognitive extenders’, based on AI technology, affect their users’ status as moral agents and the moral evaluation of their actions. We study how ‘AI-extenders’ can either...
