Mark Ryan

Digital Ethics Researcher at Wageningen Economic Research
Experience

Wageningen University and Research Wageningen Economic Research

Digital Ethics Researcher at Wageningen Economic Research / August, 2020 — Present

He specialises in the ethics of AI, data-sharing, and robotics. In his work at Wageningen, his research gives a special attention to ethical and societal concerns of developing and implementing digital technologies

KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Postdoctoral Researcher / 2019 — 2020

In this position at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, I worked in the Department of Philosophy alongside Dr. Barbro Fröding on the ethics of technology, specifically focusing on the ethics of artificial intelligence. As part of my role, I published several international peer-reviewed articles, attended international conferences to disseminate my work, organised internal workshops, and applied for grant funding.

University of Twente

Postdoctoral Researcher / 2018 — 2019

In my position at University of Twente, I worked in the Department of Philosophy alongside Prof. Brey and Dr. Macnish on the prestigious and exciting 3 ½ - year international SHERPA Project that was funded through the European Union Horizon 2020 “Science with and for Society” program with a budget of 3 million euros. It had eleven participating organizations, ranging from universities to industry to human rights organizations, amongst others. The SHERPA project investigated, analyzed and synthesized our understanding of the ways in which Smart Information Systems (SIS - involving big data analytics and artificial intelligence) impact ethics and human rights issues. It developed novel ways of understanding and addressing their challenges, evaluated with stakeholders, and advocated the most desirable and sustainable solutions. My role in this project focused on the ethical evaluation of particular SIS technologies, the companies and organizations that use and implement them, and the societal implications of their widespread adoption and integration. As part of my role, I liaised with international organizations from an array of societal domains and evaluate their use of these emerging technologies.

About
Ryan’s primary research focuses on the ethical issues surrounding artificial intelligence and digital technology. He has published numerous papers on the topic, and has presented his work at various international conferences. He is also a member of the Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Committee on Professional Ethics (COPE). Mark was previously a researcher at KTH University (Stockholm), the University of Twente (the Netherlands), and the National University of Ireland, Galway (Ireland). While at Twente, he worked on an interdisciplinary  project (SHERPA), involving 11 partners from 6 European countries. This project was a European Union Horizon 2020 project (2018-2021, budget €3 million) and focused on the ethical, social and human rights implications of smart information systems (data analytics and artificial intelligence) within a European context. He has published on topics, such as the ethics of smart cities, self-driving vehicles, agricultural data analytics, social robotics, and AI. In his previous research, he has also published a 2016 monograph: Human Values, Environmental Ethics and Sustainability.
