1/5 Now in Artificial Life: our research on the creativity of unsupervised learning! Core finding: a simple model of attractor networks with Hebbian learning is sufficient to constitute a (minimal) creative process, yielding creative products as solutions of the optimization. doi.org/10.1162/ARTL...

Read the blog of the Ethics Advisory Board of Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence about the need to incorporate training and discussions in AI ethics in the AI-related doctoral student's curriculum. fcai.fi/eab-blog/eth... Written together with colleagues listed in the comments.

Responsible AI development requires continuous, critical ethical thinking from everyone involved in creating technology.

1/5 🌟 Our latest peer-reviewed research bridges psychology and AI/reinforcement learning (RL)! We explore how AI models of intrinsic motivation can formalise the "need for competence" in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a very popular theory of human motivation. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2502.07423.

Interested in working on (computational) intrinsic motivation x design x architecture? A really cool PhD project coming up - UK residents only and supervised by @christophsalge.bsky.social! Ah, and I'll be co-supervising :) All info below - many opportunities to fit in your profile and ideas.
Do you want to do a Phd at @herts.ac.uk with me in the topic of: Changing the Environment with Intrinsically Motivated Computational Creativity?

Then apply for a fully funded Phd position with our Centre for Future Societies, reference ADS4.

Deadline: 26. May, 2025
Details below. Please share.

1/3 Out now: new paper on people's perception of AI (robot) creativity! Core finding: we attribute more creativity to a creative act if people not only see the final artwork, but also its creation process & the robot making it. Video: vimeo.com/1073134853 Open-access paper: doi.org/10.1145/3711...

I’m in Melbourne, visiting @jon-mcc.bsky.social at Sensilab / @monashuniversity.bsky.social (+ escaping Finnish winter!). I’ll be around for 2 more weeks-> email if you fancy a chat! A super fresh overview talk, covering 6 recent projects on #creativity #AI #HCI: sensilab.monash.edu/forums/three...

Hello back! :) I gave my mental health a break from social media and made time for my wonderful daughter, who has added an entire new dimension to my experience of life, which I'm so grateful for. Expect me to be rather quiet, and post mostly about fresh research, conferences and jobs.
