A new version of our preprint on the scientific and chemical ethics of "AI" foundation models is now out! This version has a much tighter focus on chemistry and clearer links to specific scientific ideals and chemical ethical norms. #AIethics #CompChem #ChemEthics #GenAI #MLethics

Our first preprint is out today! In "Considering the Ethics of Large Machine Learning Models in the Chemical Sciences", @ewcspottesmith.bsky.social addresses a long-neglected question: is "AI" (i.e., foundation models) compatible with chemical ethics? #AIethics #CompChem #ChemEthics #GenAI #MLethics

Foundations of Chemical Ethics: 0. Foundations of the Foundations

I'm also starting a series that I'm calling "Foundations of Chemical Ethics". In this first essay in this series, I lay the groundwork, explaining how I got interested in this topic, what my goals are, and where I see the series going. Any feedback is welcome! #philsci #ethics #philchem #chemethics
