My dissertation is on the philosophical foundations of building ethical robots. It’s not quite done.
I’m trained as a philosopher, with special emphasis on virtue ethics/ ethical individualism and computer ethics. I’ve often characterized myself as a Romantic and an irrationalist. Nietzsche and Emerson FTW.
