His research bridges philosophy and ethics of technology, with two primary strands: (1) the ethics of AI and robotics, focusing on responsible AI development and societal impact through works like AI Narratives and Feminist AI; and (2) the ethics of life-extension and immortality, explored in Immortality and Should You Choose to Live Forever?. Recent publications analyze algorithmic fairness, gender representation in AI narratives, and digital death.
The articles listed reflect his engagement with responsible AI frameworks, cultural portrayals of AI, and existential implications of life extension. His work often synthesizes historical, ethical, and cultural perspectives to address contemporary challenges in AI governance and mortality philosophy.
