معرفی
Isaac Taylor is an Associate Professor in Practical Philosophy at Stockholm University, specializing in applied ethics with a focus on artificial intelligence, war and peace, and counterterrorism. His work bridges theoretical philosophy with pressing contemporary issues, examining how traditional ethical frameworks must adapt to address emerging technological and security challenges.
His research interests span several interconnected domains:
- Ethical implications of AI decision-making and responsibility frameworks
- Application of just war theory to modern counterterrorism operations
- Conceptual foundations of security and privacy in the digital age
- Distributive justice in global contexts
- Political obligations and public goods theory
Taylor's recent publications (2023-2025) show a pronounced focus on AI ethics, particularly examining responsibility gaps in algorithmic decision-making and exploring whether AI systems can function as human representatives. His earlier work established significant contributions to counterterrorism ethics, culminating in his 2018 book 'The Ethics of Counterterrorism' which provides the first systematic normative theory for guiding counterterrorist policy.
His scholarly impact is evident across multiple disciplines, with publications appearing in leading philosophy journals like Philosophy and Technology, Inquiry, and Journal of Applied Philosophy, as well as interdisciplinary venues including AI and Society and Politics, Philosophy and Economics. Taylor's work consistently demonstrates how philosophical analysis can illuminate practical policy dilemmas in rapidly evolving technological and security landscapes.
