Background

About Jojanneke Drogt

My research lies at the intersection of AI ethics, embedded (bio)ethics, and philosophy of science. I am mainly interested in determining what can realistically be expected from AI systems and evaluating the extent to which a desirable impact on current practices can be achieved. I primarily analyze current claims and concepts (such as expertise, meaningful human control, and human-AI collaboration) in the context of medical AI and try to determine their (practical) grounding to move from abstract ideas concerning AI to practically applicable ethical guidance. In addition to my academic research, I teach and coordinate courses on the philosophy of science, medical ethics, and health humanities. I am secretary of the Committee of Medical Ethics (CME) of UMC Utrecht, which focuses on providing guidance for ethical questions arising in medical practice. Moreover, amongst others, I coordinate AI ethics seminars at UMC Utrecht and events of the national study group on Ethics of Biomedical Technology of the Dutch Society for Philosophy
