I work on artificial moral agency: how AI systems can and should be used in the moral domain.
My research has three strands. The theoretical strand concerns the nature of moral agency (what makes an entity capable of acting morally wrongly and responsibly). The applied strand concerns how we should use AI in the moral domain (both in general and in specific contexts). The empirical strand concerns the capabilities of AI systems (technically grounded philosophy) and the ways in which humans think about moral agency (experimental philosophy).
