Themes

My areas of interest span four key domains:

The Edge of Human

Exploring the boundaries of personhood, consciousness, and humanity.

Edge topics include:

  • Artificial life
  • Evolutionary ancestors
  • Human development
  • Non-human biological life
  • Fractal life
  • The physical individual human boundary

Becoming Human

How intelligent technologies reshape human identity and flourishing.

Questions include:

  • What Does it Mean to be Human?
  • How do technologies change our sense of self?
  • If machines can create, think, and communicate, what remains uniquely human?

Beyond Human

Searching for the fundamental principles that underpin intelligence beyond human, including artificial, animal, and collective minds.

The Ethics of Other Minds

Ethics, Morality, and Policy for Non-Human Intelligence

Questions include:

  • When is an intelligent system worthy of moral concern?
  • What motivations underpin our allocation of moral concern?
