I wrote a short piece for the @philosophyecon.bsky.social blog, applying some (very basic) insights from research on opinion, network and affective polarization to the results of the most recent election in Germany.

AI could boost productivityβ€”but only if it transforms how economic decisions are made.

On June 25, Diane Coyle at the Wittgenstein Lectures 2025 will explore how AI reshapes power and accountability in the workplace and economy.

In Memoriam – Krister Segerberg - Uppsala University

I'm late on this but I've just read that Krister Segerberg passed early February:

www.uu.se/en/departmen...

He's been an inspiration way back during my MA, and I'm still amazed at how kind, constructive (and in retrospect so patient!) he was when I had the privilege to meet him some years later.

There won't be a live streaming. In the past we have sometimes recorded the Monday lectures (it's a five-day event) and made it publicly available afterwards. For this year this is still t.b.c..
