My work focuses on data & machine ethics, ethical agency and the role of habit within moral decisions. I am the Inaugural Jeff Price Chair in Digital Law at King's College London. I am also a fellow at the Alan Turing Institute and a visiting professor at Tohoku University.
For recent work on the data ecosystem that's made Generative AI possible, the way it's now put in jeopardy by those very tools and the lack of data empowerment, see: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4388928
I am currently putting together the building blocks of the Centre for Data Futures, which I aim to launch @KCL in late 2024.
The Centre is all about designing participatory infrastructure over the life of data reliant tools deployed in value-loaded contexts. This starts at the point of data generation
(bottom-up data empowerment, inc. data trusts), all the way to the design of human-computer interfaces that incentivise the long-term, collective contestability of both the outputs and the models themselves.
My work has always been animated by a commitment to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This has led me to launch or be involved in a variety of ethics and public policy initiatives.
Aside from ongoing work on bottom-up data empowerment, notably through the Data Trusts Initiative, I am currently working on the social sustainability of the data ecosystem that makes generative AI possible. I am also considering agency-enhancing uncertainty communication features for LLMs deployed in morally loaded contexts.
