Varieties of transparency: exploring agency within AI systems.

AI systems play an increasingly important role in shaping and regulating the lives of millions of human beings across the world. Calls for greater from such systems have been widespread. However, there is considerable ambiguity concerning what "transparency" actually means, and therefore, what greater transparency might entail.

How the experience of different non-acute bed-based mental health services reinforces the need for tailored stepped care.

Objective Stepped care as a model of provision of mental health services has been frequently described from clinical or health administration perspectives, but less is known about the consumer perspective of stepped models of care. Method Qualitative interviews were undertaken with 18 consumers across a range of residential mental health services in Melbourne, Australia. Interviews were designed to help understand consumers' needs and experiences in navigating different services to meet their needs at different times in their mental health journey.

Shedding Light on the Extended Mind: HoloLens, Holograms, and Internet-Extended Knowledge.

The application of extended mind theory to the Internet and Web yields the possibility of -a form of extended knowledge that arises as a result of an individual's interactions with the online environment. The present paper seeks to advance our understanding of Internet-extended knowledge by describing the functionality of a real-world application, called the HoloArt app. In part, the goal of the paper is illustrative: it is intended to show how recent advances in mixed reality, cloud-computing, and machine intelligence might be combined so as to yield a putative case of Internet-extended knowledge.

Mandevillian intelligence.

Mandevillian intelligence is a specific form of collective intelligence in which individual cognitive vices (i.e., shortcomings, limitations, constraints and biases) are seen to play a positive functional role in yielding collective forms of cognitive success.

Situating Machine Intelligence Within the Cognitive Ecology of the Internet.

The Internet is an important focus of attention for the philosophy of mind and cognitive science communities. This is partly because the Internet serves as an important part of the material environment in which a broad array of human cognitive and epistemic activities are situated. The Internet can thus be seen as an important part of the 'cognitive ecology' that helps to shape, support and (on occasion) realize aspects of human cognizing.

Extended Cognition and the Internet: A Review of Current Issues and Controversies.

The Internet is an important focus of attention for those concerned with issues of extended cognition. In particular, the application of active externalist theorizing to the Internet gives rise to the notion of Internet-extended cognition: the idea that the Internet can (on occasion) form part of an integrated nexus of material elements that serves as the realization base for human mental states and processes. The current review attempts to survey a range of issues and controversies that arise in respect of the notion of Internet-extended cognition.
