Lisa Miracchi Titus

Lisa Miracchi Titus is a tenured Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Denver, with prior appointments at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on the nature of intelligence across biological and artificial systems, integrating epistemology, ethics, cognitive science, and AI.

Her work examines foundational questions about agency, knowledge, and rationality, with applications to AI ethics, feminist philosophy, and social justice. Current projects include ethical frameworks for autonomous weapons, societal impacts of feminized AI interfaces, and complexity in cognitive systems.

Recent publications critique statistical approaches in large language models (2023), develop virtue-based epistemic frameworks (2023), and advocate interdisciplinary research on gendered AI impacts (2022). Her monograph 'Wholly Intelligent' (under development) proposes integrated approaches to ethical AI research.
