Ciano Aydin serves as Professor of Philosophy of Technology at the University of Twente, where he also heads the Department of Philosophy of Technology and acts as Vice-Dean (Education Portfolio) for the Faculty of Behavioral, Management, and Social Sciences (BMS). Additionally, he holds a professorship in Philosophy and Applied Sciences at Delft University of Technology. His academic work bridges theoretical philosophy with practical technological applications, focusing on how digital transformations reshape society.
Aydin's research interests center on the philosophical dimensions of technology, with particular emphasis on algorithmic bias, digital privacy, and the societal implications of AI. His work critically examines how data collection influences human behavior and how digital networks transform organizational structures. He argues that technology is increasingly embedded in our physical environment through invisible sensors that monitor behavior, raising profound ethical questions about privacy in the digital age.
His recent publications reveal a consistent focus on the dual nature of technological advancement - examining both threats and opportunities in digital transformation. Aydin's work demonstrates how biased data leads to biased algorithms, challenging the notion that AI can be truly neutral since it reflects the biases inherent in our world. He emphasizes that humans cannot be fully represented by datasets, arguing for philosophical reflection as essential to achieving genuine diversity and inclusion.
As an educator, Aydin serves as core lecturer in the Digital Transformations program, guiding executives through technological revolutions from the Industrial Revolution to the current digital network society. His teaching emphasizes developing thoughtful visions for organizational roles within the evolving digital landscape rather than merely replicating physical processes online.
