Background

About Paula Boddington

I am a philosopher mostly working in applied philosophy and in interdisciplinary areas, with a wide teaching portfolio in philosophy. Major interests include ethical issues in artificial intelligence, new technology, genomics, and medicine. I am currently working at Cardiff University with a team of medical sociologists investigating the bedside care of hospital patients who are also living with dementia. From 2015 to 2018, I worked on the research project 'Towards a code of ethics for artificial intelligence research' through the Future of Life Institute with a grant from Elon Musk and the Open Philanthropy project, in the Computer Science Department of the University of Oxford. This project considered challenges and opportunities towards developing an ethical framework for the future of AI. The research project drew upon lessons in the ethical regulation of other areas of emerging technologies, such as in medicine and genomics. My book Towards a Code of Ethics for Artificial Intelligence is available current teaching interests include a wide range of philosophy, including Ethics, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, and Philosophy of Mind. My research has focused on applied philosophy and interdisciplinary work.
