Blaszczyk on Humanism and AI Policy
Matt Blaszczyk (University of Michigan Law School) has posted Confronting Empty Humanism in AI Policy on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Humanist rhetoric plays an important role in political and legal discourse and, despite appearances, it does not necessarily lead to a defense of liberal democracy. Sometimes, such rhetoric is weaponized by illiberal actors; sometimes, it comes down to defending the status quo – while neither result is welcome.

Pointing out illiberal and anti-human rhetoric and myth-busting AI hype is important. But humanist rhetoric around AI is also weaponized, and digging into politicians and corporations that use it to defend the status quo is crucial, writes @mmblaszczyk.bsky.social.

Overtly humanist, democratic, and romantic rhetoric is easily co-opted by sophisticated market players and politicians, writes Matt Blaszczyk.
