Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) be an author? A common reason cited against AI authorship is that AI is not a person. This article argues that the lack of personhood, in itself, does not disqualify AI as an author. Why not? Because we already detach personhood from authorship for many reasons, such as with pseudonyms, heteronyms, … Continue reading AI can be an author without being a person→| Advait Sarkar
In 2020, Microsoft Excel introduced a new function: LAMBDA. Software updates are frequent, and often go unnoticed. But sometimes, a software update brings something somewhat surprising: a shift in the identity of the user. The Lambda update shifts the identities of spreadsheet users and communities, and reinvigorates longstanding debates about whether spreadsheet use ought to … Continue reading Could a software update change your identity?→| Advait Sarkar
Describing our interaction with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems as ‘collaboration’ is well-intentioned, but flawed. Not only is it misleading, but it also takes away the credit of AI ‘labour’ from the humans behind it, and erases and obscures an often exploitative arrangement between AI producers and consumers. In this article, I explore how the AI … Continue reading Enough with ‘human-AI collaboration’→| Advait Sarkar
The idea of writing a computer program by writing English (or another natural human language) is attractive because it might make coding easier and faster. This article tells the story of my encounter with natural language programming as a graduate student, and the small working system I built. I discuss the idea of context limiting: … Continue reading Coding in natural language: let’s start small→| Advait Sarkar

Deploying AI in production brings some challenges and trade-offs between safety and efficiency. Humans are setting up, tuning, testing, and using the AI systems, providing feedback and guidance to the machines. How can we ensure that the human input is reliable, ethical, and consistent? How can we balance the human effort and the machine autonomy? […]| Open Ethics Initiative

Language is what makes us human: one of those things, perhaps the one thing, that sets us apart. But there is an interesting asymmetry in our willingness to ascribe linguistic capacities to non-humans: animals tend to be seen as having none, whereas computers are increasingly thought to have mastered language. This asymmetry is the focus of a recent essay I co-authored with a range of people, led by Marlou Rasenberg.1| The Ideophone
