🌟 Exciting Post-Doctoral Opportunity: The Ethics of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Human Flourishing 🌟Are you passionate about ethics in technology and intrigued by the normative implications of Large Language Models (LLMs)? Join us in a groundbreaking research project that seeks to redefine the discourse on LLMs by focusing on human flourishing!

 

**Project Title:** Large Language Models and a Well-Rounded Approach to Human Flourishing

 

**Background:**

As AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), become increasingly prevalent, there is growing concern about their ethical implications for society. Most discussions on this topic focus solely on the risks and harms associated with LLMs, overlooking their impact on human flourishing. As part of the Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab call, this project aims to fill this gap by adopting a well-rounded philosophical approach, by analysing the relationship between LLM environments and the conditions for the cultivation of human capacities.

​

As a post-doc in this project, you will be involved in developing a normative framework for evaluating LLMs, as well as developing an Embedded Ethics module that will be integrated in computer science courses at the University of Notre Dame and the Technion

 

**Salary:** $29,000 USD

 

**Location:** Technion-Israel Institute of Technology

 

**Duration:** 12 months

 

**Start Date:** immediate
