We are a collection of researchers working on the detection & prevention of value lock-in from AI.
We are seeking to build an informal working group for collaborating on this topic and related ones. The questions we'd like to answer include but aren't limited to:
Does AI contribute to the lock-in of values and knowledge?
Can AI facilitate progress in values or scientific knowledge?
What is the epistemic impact of AI at a group/societal level?
How do we reliably measure and monitor the effects listed above?
How do we change AI impact on the above aspects for the better?
We are glad that related questions have already received attention from neighbouring fields, such as in Glickman & Sharot (2024), Collins et al. (2025), Kulveit et al. (2025), and many others.
Please reach out to us if you are interested or would like to discuss anything!
