To Land a Job in AI, Try Reading Kant

Major AI labs like Google DeepMind and Anthropic are hiring philosophers to advise on ethics, fairness, misuse, and value alignment.

Supporters say philosophy expertise is becoming essential to shaping model behavior and tackling issues like bias and consciousness.

Some academics worry these roles can blur independence and give tech companies a public-relations boost.
