1/ Are non-native authors underrepresented in philosophy? Our paper, now out (OA) in Research Integrity and Peer Review, is the biggest study to date on linguistic injustice in academic philosophy. We checked over 100k articles between 1975 and 2021. 🧵doi.org/10.1186/s41073-026-0…

How does “meaningful human control” (EU AI Act, GDPR) shape blame when AI messes up?
3 experiments (N=1,798) w/ R. Reimann:
(i) People blame the AI itself a lot
(ii) The human in/on the loop becomes a “liability sponge”
(iii) Human IN vs. ON the loop: no difference

Is happiness a morally charged concept? Ceteris paribus, is the saint happier than the sinner? Diverging from the great work by @phillipsjs and @xphilosopher, @DanHaybron and I find that morality plays no role in the concept of happiness. OA in AJP: h1.nu/1r82v
