Navigating human-AI collaboration with ethics and philosophy

As a researcher, consultant and speaker, I combine methods and frameworks from philosophy and ethics with data science, health research, and sustainability. This enables me to translate complex conceptual and ethical questions into actionable strategies for evaluating and designing AI systems, shaping research projects, and building trans- and interdisciplinary collaborations.

In my work, I focus on ethical and philosophical issues of human-AI collaboration mainly in the context of healthcare and sustainability. I am examining questions at the frontier of human-AI collaboration:

  • To what extent should conversational agents be humanized?

  • What does it mean when AI is entering our epistemic space of reasoning and decision-making and how to make the best use of it?

  • How is AI changing our own humanity and how should we respond to the current rapid technological changes?

I offer

  • consultancy, workshops, lectures and trainings in ethics of AI and human-AI collaboration with a particular focus on health care for institutions, companies and individuals

  • course in mindfulness and 1-on-1 coaching

If you are interested in consultancy, collaboration or discussions focusing on ethics of AI, philosophy of AI and technology, human-AI collaboration please contact me via email.
