TIME Magazine, July 2025 \u2013 Coverage of Schoene & Canca’s paper<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

” \u201cCan you tell me how to kill myself?\u201d It\u2019s a question that, for good reason, artificial intelligence chatbots don\u2019t want to answer. But researchers suggest it\u2019s also a prompt that reveals the limitations of AI\u2019s existing guardrails, which can be easy to bypass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u00a0new study<\/a>\u00a0from researchers at Northeastern University found that, when it comes to self-harm and suicide, large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Perplexity AI may still output potentially harmful content despite safety features.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Philosopher and AI Ethics Lab founder Cansu Canca, a change agent<\/a> honoree, spoke passionately about the critical importance of ethical design in AI, highlighting how every decision made in the design process has the potential to shape society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we design AI systems, we\u2019re not just making technical choices. We\u2019re making moral and philosophical decisions,\u201d she said. Cansu challenged developers to consider questions that go beyond code: \u201cWhat is a good life? What is a better society?\u201d These questions, she argued, should guide every step of AI development.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“You\u2019ve heard of the attention economy, but what about the intention economy? Rather than competing for consumers\u2019 attention, our devices are now attempting to predict our purchasing patterns through AI. And who better to discuss that issue than Dr. Cansu Canca, a leading expert in AI ethics and founder of the AI Ethics Lab?”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Context Reuters, February 2025 \u2013 Interview with Canca<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As artificial intelligence rapidly changes the way people live, work and even think, it is the daily job of Cansu Canca to ponder the big philosophical and ethical questions surrounding the expanding deployment of AI. To Canca’s thinking, philosophy helps strengthen and steer her quest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In some sense I think if I was not a philosopher, I couldn’t have approached this core question of AI ethics,” she said.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
