🎓 LuFlot: a philosophical agent for digital education LuFlot is the first pedagogical agent built on Luciano Floridi’s academic work in the philosophy of information, digital ethics, and artificial intelligence. Designed to support critical exploration of the core concepts of today’s digital transformation, from the ontology of the infosphere to the ethical challenges of AI, from the political responsibilities of technological design to the foundations of the philosophy of information, LuFlot offers a learning environment that combines theoretical depth with accessibility. Using a variety of pedagogical approaches, from Socratic method to dialogical simulation, from inquiry-based learning to collaborative knowledge construction, the system goes beyond simply providing answers, supporting instead the development of transparent and well-structured argumentative paths. 📚 Key features include: 🔹 Multi-perspective philosophical debates 🔹 Interactive conceptual maps 🔹 Infosphere analysis tools 🔹 Argumentative composition mode 🔹 A precise technical lexicon 🔹 Traceable academic sources Among the latest additions, two new response modes are now available, specifically designed to support deeper conceptual reasoning and structured philosophical inquiry: 🔹 Cognition (Flow of Thought) make the reasoning process visible, showing how ideas unfold step by step, from the assimilation of concepts to the formulation of conclusions. 🔹 Debate introduces a structured space for philosophical confrontation, organized into four conceptual areas: 🔹 The Debate, where theses and counter-theses are articulated; 🔹 Discourse Diagram, which visualizes the logical relationships between positions; 🔹 Analysis, offering a deeper examination of key conceptual points; 🔹 Floridi’s Insights, connecting the discussion to Floridi’s writings and thought. Developed by Mylon AI, LuFlot is a first attempt to make philosophy an operational and dialogical resource within digital environments. 🔗 Learn more https://lnkd.in/ei5TVs3X Orbits editorial department.

🌟 Given the increasing availability of decentralized #EO data archives with different data modalities (which can be unshared due to commercial concerns, legal regulations, and privacy), the development of #federatedlearning frameworks for #EO is crucial. Through the Phd studies of Barış Büyüktaş, we are committed to support this research and development in remote sensing. In this line, our recent paper 'A Multi-Modal Federated Learning Framework for Remote Sensing Image Classification' has been recently published at the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. 📜 Paper: https://lnkd.in/d8k2qcEd 🛠️ Code: https://lnkd.in/dyuDFWxC Congrats Barış Büyüktaş and many thanks to Gencer Sümbül for the excellent collaboration 🌟

Editorial Conflicts of Interest - Webinar   We had a great turnout this week for the British Academy of Management Peer Review College webinar on Editorial Conflicts of Interest (COI).   In this webinar, Raffaele F Ciriello and Vitali Mindel presented findings from their study of patterns of publication in two top-tier business journals over a 15-year period. Their findings point to reciprocal arrangements between editors and prolific authors, including reciprocal handling of papers, prior coauthorships, and longstanding professional ties.   Our discussions touched on a wide range of themes. Here are some takeaways   It was felt that journals bear the most responsibility for creating and enforcing COI policies. What minimum level of transparency should be expected of journals? Publishing details of COI policies and how these are enforced? Publishing the identity of handling editors on every paper? Publishing aggregate statistics on incidences of COI, alongside details of corrected actions to enforce policies? It was noted that some journal editors are already taking a zero-tolerance approach to undeclared COI External institutions also have an important role to play. Do publishing platforms need to take a more active role in monitoring how COIs are managed within the journals they host? Should governing publication ethics bodies conduct periodic audits across resources to ensure transparency and compliance? Should the exercise completed by the authors be automated and regularly completed for all journals?   How should these external audits then inform journal ranking exercises (e.g. CABS), or research assessment exercises (e.g. REF)? Audits need to trigger enforcements by funders, indexers, or publishers. Should alternative approaches to peer review be tried including triple blind review or open peer review? There was strong agreement in the group that as a community, we have a responsibility to self-regulate, define COI policies, and means of enforcement. Whilst these issues are uncomfortable, action is needed to safeguard the institution, promoting both the quality AND integrity of peer review.   #PeerReview #Editors #Ethics #ResearchPublications #ConflictofInterest

🚀 The August issue of the Credible Management Research Newsletter is out! AOM is over, teaching has not started yet, the right time for some credibility! This month’s edition is mine—co-curated with Fabiola H. Gerpott and Jost Sieweke. Each month, new insights about #credibility in #science from the three of us. Teaser highlights • 🤖🧪 LLMs as “participants”? Tempting for speed and cost—but prompt sensitivity is real. Openness (share prompts, model specs, materials) is non-negotiable. Featuring work by Sarah Schröder and colleagues. • 📈🔋 Do we have enough power? Evidence from adjacent fields says “mostly not.” A fix: fewer, bigger, multi-lab studies across countries. Shout-out to Vincent Arel-Bundock and colleagues. • 🎧🍻 What to hear: Paul Bloom interviews Yoel Inbar—candid, funny, and brutally honest about theories and findings they no longer trust (and Sydney Sweeney) • 📝🔍 RR Watch: Thomas Rhys Evans et al. (unethical behavior at work), Lewend Mayiwar et al. (status → overconfidence), Michael P. Grosz et al. (narcissism & status). If you care about credible, transparent research, 🔔 subscribe & share so more colleagues run high-power, open studies that can make causal inferences. 👇 Thoughts on “synthetic” LLM participants, statistical power, or credibility events, news, or thoughts in general? Drop them in the comments. 💬 #OpenScience #ManagementResearch #Replication #RegisteredReports #AI #LLM #Metascience Bonus-Content: Pictures of us doing weird gestures at Academy of Management Conference in Copenhagen during the Credibility PDW

New selected publication in #Development and #Sustainability in #Economics and #Finance (#DSEF) from Elsevier: "Sacrificing sustainability for a higher GDP growth rate". In this study, Tessa Groner and Amir Moradi investigate a key policy dilemma: Can #GDP #growth and #sustainability truly go hand in hand ? Using 15 years of panel data across 100 countries, the paper reveals a complex, bidirectional relationship between GDP growth and #sovereign #sustainability indicators (#SDG #scores): Economic growth often follows a decline in sustainability. However, improvements in areas like quality #education and #renewable #energy use are associated with higher GDP growth. These findings challenge the conventional wisdom that #economic #performance alone defines well-being. Instead, the authors advocate for a more holistic development #model one that decouples growth from #environmental #degradation and strengthens the role of sustainability metrics in #policymaking.
