In this upcoming AI, Ethics, and Society Conference (AIES)'24 paper, we show that one has to at least be very careful when using active learning to learn people's moral preferences. arxiv.org/abs/2407.18889

In preference elicitation (or active learning), we usually never ask the same question twice, because we think we already know the answer. In this upcoming AI, Ethics, and Society Conference (AIES) paper, we study how stable people's responses about moral preferences actually are. arxiv.org/abs/2408.02862

LLM guardrails are still defeated by just adding some spaces between characters theregister.com/2024/07/29/met…

To me the first error seems very human-like, but the inability to then say "oh wait, let's take a step back" in response to the later questions does not. (Try for yourself -- what do you think?)

Our Moral AI book is once again Amazon's #1 Science & Maths Ethics best seller! (It also was around the time of its release in February.) Also #7 in AI & Semantics, and #8 in Ethics & Morality. amazon.com/Moral-AI-There…

Coming soon: The Institute for Ethics in AI in association with Balliol College will be advertising a 3 year postdoctoral fellowship in Ethics in AI for candidates with a background in theoretical philosophy (phil of mind, epistemology, phil of logic and language, metaphysics). Stay tuned.
