The use of generative AI (GAI) has sparked a significant amount of ethical controversy. In this work, we aim to address the ethical complications that arise when GAI is used to generate images, videos, or audio based on deceased individuals. Our reflections will focus on artistic and cultural products that include such developments, where both ethical and aesthetic issues can be raised. We understand that beyond the authorization that heirs may provide for the use of digital recordings in generating GAI products, these cultural products and works of art raise a series of ethical questions stemming from the quality of the generated image and audio, the ubiquity and accessibility of these technologies, and the epistemic reliability of AIs. We will analyze a series of guiding ethical principles that would allow for the creation of such artworks and other cultural products while achieving a balance between the conflicting rights. Finally, we will review a number of objections and controversies that remain unresolved.

La relación entre inmigración y despoblación rural suele analizarse desde dos perspectivas poco integradas. Los estudios demográficos muestran que la inmigración sostiene el crecimiento poblacional en España, aunque la mayoría de los inmigrantes se asienta en áreas urbanas. A su vez, el Derecho de extranjería regula la residencia mediante categorías poco sensibles a las desigualdades territoriales. Este artículo analiza si el estatuto de residencia puede utilizarse como instrumento legítimo de justicia territorial. Mediante un análisis jurídico-documental del arraigo y de la justicia territorial, se explora la viabilidad de modificar el Reglamento de Extranjería para crear un arraigo territorial que regularice a personas migrantes vinculadas a zonas rurales despobladas. La propuesta se apoya en una ética pragmática que justifica este uso del estatuto de extranjería cuando promueve la inclusión jurídica de sus destinatarios y la justicia territorial.

Em um artigo recente, Fisette tenta mostrar que a teoria da consciência de Brentano pode ser considerada como uma teoria de ordem superior da consciência (HOT), e uma teoria melhor que a de Rosenthal, porque Brentano, diferentemente de Rosenthal, pode responder a todas as objeções tradicionalmente feitas às teorias HOT, ao introduzir a ideia de uma auto-consciência e da distinção entre consciência implícita e explícita. Neste artigo, eu primeiramente reconstruirei os pontos principais de Fisette, e então questionarei a sua versão da teoria de Brentano. Finalmente, proponho algumas razões adicionais para rejeitar teorias de ordem superior da consciência.

Tsirelson’s problem deals with how to model separate measurements in quantum mechanics. In addition to its theoretical importance, the resolution of Tsirelson’s problem could have great consequences for device independent quantum key distribution and certified randomness. Unfortunately, understanding present literature on the subject requires a heavy mathematical background. In this paper, we introduce quansality, a new theoretical concept that allows to reinterpret Tsirelson’s problem from a foundational point of view. Using quansality as a guide, we recover all known results on Tsirelson’s problem in a clear and intuitive way
