📣 Big news: I’ve signed a contract with @politybooks for a monograph, tentatively titled Recoding Democracy: AI and the Fight for Democracy’s Future. 📖 The #book will argue that #AI forces us to reassess what makes democracy valuable and how that value should be realized. 1/

Sharing a vital conversation between @tlechtable & @gabramosp at @IEuniversity on how universities must lead in the AI era. 🎓🌐 In a polarized world, universities & international institutions need to build bridges and drive change. It’s not the tech, but how we integrate it that matters. #AIethics #HigherEd #UNESCO @iehumanities @UNESCO @catalinatejero

Does Rawls's duty of civility rule out disruptive political disobedience? Andrei Bespalov argues it doesn't—provided coercion is reasonably justified. Join his talk: 📅 11 Dec, 17:00 CET 🔗 Register: ecpr.eu/Events/Event/PanelDe… 📩 DM me for the paper if you'd like a sneak peak.

Full house for the launch of the @UNESCO Chair in AI Ethics and Governance at @IEuniversity !🚀 With inspiring remarks from @gabramosp and a thought-provoking keynote from Prof. @tlechtable , we explored the challenges of "ethicophobia" in AI governance. A big thank you to our panelists Linda Eggert, David Leslie, @luzrello, and Oliver Smith for discussing the ethical frontiers of #AI. 🙏 Congrats to @iehumanities , specially @catalinatejero and @tlechtable ! This Chair is a huge step for IE and a vital opportunity to advance human-centered AI research. Excited for the journey ahead! 🌐💡More info on the Chair and its work here:  ie.edu/school-of-humanities/… #UNESCO #Ethics #Governance #Innovation #Tech

How can social entrepreneurship contribute to social justice? @johannamair and I have a new piece out in @SSIReview, arguing that building institutional capacity is key. The piece stems from a larger study recently published in @osofficer on John Rawls and social enterprise.
Understanding how social innovation directly affects people’s lives is essential. But by focusing primarily on measurable impacts on individuals, we risk falling into familiar traps. @tlechtable & @johannamair take an organizational approach: ssir.org/articles/entry/soci…
