New philosophy lab
Looking for post-docs, PhD students, and master students
Interested in improving animal and AI welfare? Effective altruists, Buddhists, and other animal right activists have long argued for a moral circle expansion. If you’re interested in working out the details of how we should do so, you might be interested in joining my lab.
My lab is intended as an interdisciplinary group of philosophers and scientists using conceptual and computational methods to solve pressing philosophical, ethical, and scientific challenges at the intersection of the biological, social, and cognitive sciences such as as: Do insects feel pain? How can AI be used to improve animal welfare? How should economists and policy-makers include animal welfare in social welfare functions? Can we create artificial consciousness and how could we ensure AI welfare? How should new technologies be regulated?
If you are interested in joining my team at the University of Reading, as a post-doc, PhD student, or master student, please feel free to click here for current opportunities and contact me.
wish I was bit younger!
