Marc is currently Deputy Director of the Centre for AI and Digital Ethics; and Senior Lecturer in Information Systems (Digital Ethics) [equiv. Assoc. Prof. in the US system] at the Faculty of Engineering and IT, The University of Melbourne, Australia.
He is interested in the intersection between technology and philosophy... in particular, how (A) existential philosophy and the philosophy of celebrity are relevant in the age of online social networks and social media, and (B) how technologists can optimise for human flourishing (and not for arbitrary standards of efficiency). He has worked on collaborative projects on AI bias and intellectual humility [with Alfano, Klein, and the digital trust team, below], and has written a textbook, Transition to Digital Ethics: A Primer from Philosophy to Practice [with Coghlan; Chapman & Hall 2025].
