_Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence_ 40 (44):37791-37801. 2026In this paper, we argue that current AI (alignment) research operates on a spectrum between two different underlying conceptions of intelligence: Intelligence Realism, which holds that intelligence represents a single, universal capacity measurable across all systems, and Intelligence Pluralism, which views i…

_Aamas '24: Proceedings of the 23Rd International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems_ 2024:1510-1520. 2024A universal feature of human societies is the adoption of systems of rules and norms in the service of cooperative ends. How can we build learning agents that do the same, so that they may flexibly cooperate with the human institutions they are embedded in? We hypothesize …

_Proceedings of the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society_ 6 (2):1939-1950. 2025This paper examines how competing sociotechnical imaginaries of artificial intelligence (AI) risk shape governance decisions and regulatory constraints. Drawing on concepts from science and technology studies, we analyse three dominant narrative groups: existential risk proponents, who emphasise catastrophic …

_Studium Philosophicum_ 23 (9-10):267-276. 2024The birth of philosophy of language, the progresses of logic, those of linguistic sciences and the “linguistic turn”, since the beginning of twentieth century, have given new energies to the studies on the relation between ontology and semantics, but this question is much more ancient. The contemporary correspondence theory of truth could be regarded…

_Journal of Interdisciplinary Histroy of Ideas_ 14 (28). 2025The history of ideas has been steadily importing methods from the digital humanities in recent years. In particular, the (changing) meaning of words (as helpful portals to the discovery of ideas), has been modelled computationally by a number of researchers (de Bolla 2013; Betti and van den Berg 2014; Brezina et al. 2015; van Eijnatten,…

_AI and Ethics_ 5 (5):925-4942. 2025Every explanation faces a trade-off between informativeness and compression (Kinney and Lombrozo, 2022). On the one hand, we want to aim for as much detailed and correct information as possible, informativeness, on the other hand, we want to ensure that a human can process and comprehend the explanation, compression. Current methods in eXplainable AI (XAI) try …

_Journal of Law, Society and Authority_ 15 (1):1-22. 2026Edward Said’s Orientalism revolutionized Western scholarship by exposing its deep-seated biases in studying non-Western societies, particularly the Arab-Islamic world. His critique revealed how Western narratives dehumanized the "Orient" through exaggerated differences, exoticization and imperialist assumptions. This intellectual framework,…

Nature Medicine, Published online: 11 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04400-y A first-in-human trial involving selective removal of the placental protein sFlt-1 in preterm pre-eclampsia provides critical safety data, and could mark the beginning of a new era of targeted therapy for this potentially lethal pregnancy complication.

Nature Communications, Published online: 11 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72814-w Immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) contribute to resistance to immune checkpoint blockade. Here, the authors propose BCAT1 to inhibit crotonate-mediated epigenetic reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages, with BCAT1 loss promoting immune escape in hepatocellular carcinoma mouse models.

Nature Communications, Published online: 11 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72949-w Valine metabolism disruption is linked to heart disease, but the mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that ACAD8 deficiency drives isobutyryl-CoA accumulation and histone isobutyrylation, increasing chromatin accessibility and gene expression to promote cardiac hypertrophy, while ACAD8 overexpression re…

Guided by mentors from Nike, Wilson Sporting Goods and Vuori, Otis juniors lock in for their end-of-year fashion show.

A Trump administration once eager to gun for technological supremacy is now, for the first time, reckoning with the power AI could unleash if left unchecked.

An ancient Egyptian board game piece was repurposed centuries later in Sudan into a dazzling gold-and-amethyst pendant.

Identifying and analysing climate risks is a necessary function of governments, but researchers at Adelaide University's Environment Institute argue such processes will not lead to effective action without taking additional steps to understand which risks are considered unacceptable by the community and prioritising responses accordingly.

Dante's description of the fall of Lucifer to Earth from heaven seems to sport many of the hallmarks of an impact, forming a multi-ringed crater with a central peak.
