Posted this on /g/ the other day and nothing fruitful came out. What are some good areas where philosophy and computer science overlap? I'm a 2nd year CS/Philo major and I'm trying to find something to start working on that could eventually become my senior project.

I don't know about philosophy, but as a CS/History major I've been interested in simulation and agent-based modeling.

See Ken Binmore (game theoretic analysis applied to moral/political philosophy).

See Herbert Simon, arguably the OG.

Adam Elkus is a good person to follow if you're into that and use any social media.

The purpose of humanity when human labor and thinking is no longer required.

Both of those sound super interesting! Did they write any books, or was it just articles and conferences?

Game Theory and the Social Contract for Binmore. It's two volumes. Disclaimer: It's been on my to read list, so best I can tell you is it sounds like it will be interesting.

I can recommend a textbook on game theory if you need to brush up quickly.

For Simon, I'd look up a list of books and pick one based on your interests, he runs from economics to politics to organization/mgmt to decision theory to cogsci and everywhere between.
