Physics

What are your thoughts on AI companies hiring philosophers?
Personally, I love the idea. I think their inclusion may change the paradigm for how we view our relationship with technology. I would also challenge these companies to employ a few physicists to work alongside them. Physics explains, at every level, how things relate to, influence, and shape one another. I’m thinking of Newton’s Third Law of Motion, that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Bringing physics into the conversation also changes how we think about these dynamics.

Thank you, Lord John Alderdice, for reminding me of this during your lecture this morning. And thank you to the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences Global Centre for hosting the Academic Primary Care Alumni Retreat.
