If I have a PhD in computer science, could I contribute to philosophical outlets or would I need a philosophy PhD to do that? In the future, I'm planning to pursue a PhD in computer science. Alongside making technical contributions to the field of computer science (artificial intelligence in particular), I'd like to give my philosophical take (or two) on where the field of artificial intelligence is headed.
My question is: If I get a PhD in computer science, would I need to get a PhD in philosophy in order to contribute to philosophical outlets that discuss computer science topics? More broadly, if I write a good enough paper, could I contribute to philosophical outlets in general or would me not having a PhD in philosophy be a barrier?
I was reading this answer and this part stuck out to me (a comment on the first answer):

I'm having a really hard time identifying a career path that requires
two formal PhD's, unless one discipline is in the humanities and the
other is in a STEM field, and one decided to start with the non-STEM
field.

I'm starting with the STEM field here, so I'm not sure if in my case it makes sense to pursue multiple PhDs.
You don't need even one doctorate to contribute to any field. Publications accept or reject papers based on the papers not the &quot;qualifications&quot; of the authors.
Just write your papers and submit them. Of course you might also work to develop some collaborative relationships with philosophers who can also give you advice on things.
And at any large (and some small) universities, you can just wander over to the philosophy department, find their coffee lounge, and start up a conversation.
Doing actual research in philosophy, however, probably requires a somewhat different skill set than in CS, but you can develop that.
And don't confuse Opinion with Philosophy. In any field, you need a basis for what you write for it to be publishable.
