KTH Royal Institute of Technology

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.

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.
