معرفی
Philipp Koralus is the McCord Professor of Philosophy and AI at the University of Oxford and serves as Director of the Human-Centered AI Lab (HAI Lab) within the Institute for Ethics in AI. He is also a member of St Catherine's College. Koralus holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Neuroscience from Princeton University and a B.A. from Pomona College. His research focuses on the human capacity for reasoning and decision-making, exploring how these processes relate to artificial intelligence agents and large language models like GPT. He advocates for the Erotetic Theory of Reason (ETR), which posits that reason aims to resolve issues or questions directly, explaining both human rationality and fallibility. His work extends to moral judgment, definitions of intelligence, and interdisciplinary collaboration with computer scientists, psychologists, linguists, and neuroscientists. Koralus is preparing to launch the HAI Lab in Fall 2024, aiming to advance human-centered AI ethics and cognition research.
His educational background includes advanced studies in philosophy and neuroscience, combining analytical rigor with empirical insights. Collaborations span diverse fields, including fisheries management through agent-based modeling and healthcare ethics in AI applications. He has published widely on topics such as attention mechanisms, visual perception, and the theoretical foundations of AI reasoning. Koralus regularly teaches graduate seminars on philosophy and AI, including upcoming sessions like 'Building the Philosophy to Code Pipeline' starting in 2025. He has supervised doctoral students in both philosophy and computer science but currently lists no specific advisees. His research has been recognized in symposia and commentary, though no formal scientific awards are explicitly mentioned.
