Towards a Middle-Ground Theory of Agency for Artificial Intelligence

Longin, L. (2020). Towards a Middle-Ground Theory of Agency for Artificial Intelligence. In Culturally Sustainable Social Robotics (pp. 17-26). IOS Press.

The paper proposes a middle-ground theory of agency for artificial intelligence that balances between attributing too much or too little agency to AI systems

Augmenting perception: How artificial intelligence transforms sensory substitution

Longin, L., & Deroy, O. (2022). Augmenting perception: How artificial intelligence transforms sensory substitution. Consciousness and Cognition, 99, 103280.

The paper discusses how artificial intelligence transforms sensory substitution and augmentation devices by introducing non-linear signal processing, which allows for more efficient and effective sensory information transfer, potentially reducing cognitive overload and improving usability for users.

Intelligence brings responsibility: even smart AI-assistants are held responsible

Longin, L., Bahrami, B., & Deroy, O. (2023). Intelligence brings responsibility-Even smart AI assistants are held responsible. iScience, 26(8).

Even basic AI assistants are perceived as sharing responsibility with their human users for outcomes, despite being viewed as tools, while non-AI tools are not held responsible.

The Social Role of AI Advisers

Longin, Louis (2023): The social role of AI advisers. Dissertation, LMU München: Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science and the Study of Religion
