A new entry is live for Autonomous Airwaves titled "AI and the Erosion of Humanity". This piece steps away from hype and productivity talk to reflect on agency, creativity and how constant automation can quietly reshape how we think and relate.

»Aligning #AI with #humanvalues: “We need to both ensure humans reap AI’s benefits and that we don’t lose control of the technology,” says senior Audrey Lorvo.« https://news.mit.edu/2025/audrey-lorvo-aligning-ai-human-values-0204?eicker.news #tech #media

We got preachy and people don’t like being preached to, even moreso when the preacher is right. Especially when the preacher is right and isn’t any saint himself.

Caspar Olevian co-wrote the Heidelberg Catechism. One who has heard of God’s mercy would have “fear” to do anyone wrong, or unjustly oppressed them. God working in us, will make us like Him, and turn us away from all hardness of heart and inhumanity.

Some may have met Christians who seem to teach a hardness of heart. This does not prove Olevian wrong.

How can you reflect on God’s mercy as a motivation to humanity?

#RecommendationEngines #Algorithms #Ethics #HumanValues: "Recommender systems are the algorithms which select, filter, and personalize content across many of the world's largest platforms and apps. As such, their positive and negative effects on individuals and on societies have been extensively theorized and studied. Our overarching question is how to ensure that recommender systems enact the values of the individuals and societies that they serve. Addressing this question in a principled fashion requires technical knowledge of recommender design and operation, and also critically depends on insights from diverse fields including social science, ethics, economics, psychology, policy and law. This paper is a multidisciplinary effort to synthesize theory and practice from different perspectives, with the goal of providing a shared language, articulating current design approaches, and identifying open problems. We collect a set of values that seem most relevant to recommender systems operating across different domains, then examine them from the perspectives of current industry practice, measurement, product design, and policy approaches. Important open problems include multi-stakeholder processes for defining values and resolving trade-offs, better values-driven measurements, recommender controls that people use, non-behavioral algorithmic feedback, optimization for long-term outcomes, causal inference of recommender effects, academic-industry research collaborations, and interdisciplinary policy-making." https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3632297

Episode 4 is now live and features none other than Kate Devitt! Kate is an internationally recognised leader in ethical #robotics, #autonomoussystems and #AI. In this episode we dive into some very big topics from human flourishing in the context of AI to the implications of AI and social media on human well-being, knowledge, and communication. Kate leaves no stone unturned, sharing her wealth of knowledge with humour and grace. It was an absolute pleasure to have Kate join us for this episode.

Dusting off an old idea that may be nearing practicality with the rise of large language models:

A model of human universal values—multilevel, fine-grained, probabilistic, intertwingled, and evolving—could facilitate useful discourse and collective decision-making.

It seems to me that our worldwide, multicultural corpus of fiction must contain examples, within context, of nearly all human values and situations in which they may apply.

Such fictional examples are of course highly biased toward the dramatic and the sensational, since that's what people tend to enjoy reading, but might we now be close to having the tools to help us collect, categorize, and make sense of such a data-store and apply it to effective discussion and decision-making?
