Ongoing and past projects
AI, AI ethics, AI responsibly:
- A permanent, ongoing research project from the perspective of an AI insider, covering different topics related to the implications (both positive and negative) of the design, implementation, testing, deployment, and use of AI, as well as of the misunderstandings and issues derived from AI illiteracy, AI hype, anthropomorphism, misguiding narratives, ahistoricism, and a long list of unnecessary ballast the field carries since its foundation.
