We just had a chance to interview Carissa Véliz, author of Privacy is Power and associate professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford.

We talked about how predictive AI will make a 'meritocracy' impossible, how lifelike chat bots are designed to deceive you, and the importance of privacy in the digital age. Catch the episode on our YouTube channel or your favorite podcast app now!

Carissa Véliz is an associate professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford, a renowned author and speaker, a board member of the Proton Foundation, and a member of UNESCO's Women 4 Ethical AI.

Her new book Prophecy comes out April 21st and is now available for pre-order.

Prophecy is about how extensive use of predictive analytics is undermining our abilities to defy the odds, making systems unaccountable, and increasing risk in business and society while creating a false sense of security.

The Hidden Risk of AI in Robots

Dr. Alan Winfield raises concerns about embedding large language models into robots, where errors could have physical consequences.
The episode explores how robots learn like humans—and challenges what “learning” really means in machines.

Happy to try out @Mastodon!

Starting with a bit of a personal view on how genAI may make our lives easier, but not necessarily better.

There’s a difference between being known… and being reduced to what can be known.

Profiles don’t just describe us. They stabilise us. They turn movement into pattern, possibility into probability.

And once that version exists, systems begin to trust it more than the person.

It is consistent. Predictable. Actionable.

You are not.

" But understanding how these systems work is not just an engineering problem—it requires an interdisciplinary effort. We must build the tools to characterize, measure, and intervene in the intentions of AI agents before they act."
