An article by Alexander Poddyakov has been published

The journal "Integrative psychological and behavioral science" published an article by Alexander Podyakov "Possibilities of Free Will in Different Physical, Social, and Technological Worlds: An Introduction to a Thematic Issue"

Abstract
In this introduction to a thematic issue dealing with free will, some possibilities of free will in different physical, social, and technological worlds, as well as discus-sions of the possibilities are considered. What are the possibilities and limitations of free will in various other worlds differing from our world? What are the possibili-ties and limitations of free will in different species, both in our world and in other hypothetical  worlds,  including  future  species,  naturally  evolving,  and  artificially modified? What  are the  possibilities  and limitations  of  free will  related  to the  de-velopment of AI? How can the diversity of free will levels in an agent  be  related to possible levels (depth) of its self-knowledge? What can agents differing in levels of  self-knowledge  know  and  think  about  the  issue  of  free  will?  How  do  different societies (social worlds) support and inhibit different manifestations of free will in different areas? What is the role of hard neurodeterminism and “mindless neurosci-ence” in general neuroscience? What are ethical aspects of the questions, including the  initial  one:  “If  a  neuroscientist  denies  free  will,  how  can  they  write  a  text  of voluntary informed consent and propose to sign it?”.
