Despite extensive safety training, LLMs remain vulnerable to “jailbreaking” through adversarial prompts. Why does this vulnerability persist? In a new paper published in Philosophical Studies, I argue this is because current alignment methods are fundamentally shallow. 🧵 1/13

New output in Communications of the ACM from a long standing research project with a wonderful interdisciplinary team spearheaded by Francesca Rossi where we investigate fast and slow thinking in AI

The idea of AI as System 0 and an extension of the mind is taking shape, step by step.
Here is a new publication: "System 0: Transforming Artificial Intelligence into a Cognitive Extension"
www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/...
Once we recognize that, we face the following dilemma: either AI is not part of that practice at all or, if it is, then AI assessments are not only not value-free but are in fact likely to reproduce social stereotypes and discrimination.
Contrary to this, I show that the current debate around AI emotion recognition misses a crucial aspect of folk psychology, namely that it is a social practice through which we shape minds and behaviors.
AI Emotions-recognition is a developing field and is likely to become an incredibly lucrative industry. The premise behind this technology is that it will provide some objective ways to understand and access human emotions.
🔥 The Routledge Handbook of Mindshaping just came out! Excited to see my piece on #AI emotion recognition among such great papers on mindshaping. 🤩

Nice! I have another great quote from a book + movie: "change everything in order to change nothing", originally from the novel (and movie), "The Leopard" (in the original Italian: "Cambiare tutte per non cambiare niente").
My papers in #philosophy of #AI coming out:
-"Can AI make scientific discoveries?" Phil Studies
-“AI and Emotion Recognition” in Mindshaping Handbook, Routledge
-“The case for Human-AI interaction as System 0 Thinking”, Nature Human Behaviour
-“AI-enhanced Nudging: A Risk-factors Analysis”, APQ
too funny 😂
Arresting and threatening to deport students because of their participation in political protest is the kind of action one ordinarily associates with the world’s most repressive regimes. It’s genuinely shocking that this appears to be what’s going on right here. 1/
Well said!

En route to the @notredame.bsky.social / Uni of Notre Dame to give a keynote at the Tech Ethics Forum. Excited to talk about the future of Responsible AI, see some old friends and meet new ones.
Thank you for inviting me NotreDame-IBMTech Lab, @nunomoniz.bsky.social & Sara Berger & Jungmin Lee
