I am an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
I am engaged in two main research programs concerning 1) "rightful machines," which are highly autonomous machine agents that respect principles of justice and law, and 2) a "principle of veracity," which in certain conditions entails a rightfully enforceable duty of truthfulness when reporting expert knowledge such as scientific knowledge. Both research programs rely on distinctively Kantian insights into the coordinated relationship between law and ethics, although neither depends on any controversial Kantian premises.
I am in an ideal position to address issues in AI and social information ethics, with expertise that is both broad and deep in law, business, ethics, political philosophy and AI.
