Silvia Milano

Silvia Milano is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Exeter's Department of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology, and a Humboldt Fellow at LMU Munich's Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy. Previously, she held roles as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), a Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute (FHI), and William Golding Junior Research Fellow at Brasenose College, Oxford. She earned her PhD in Philosophy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2018, focusing on the epistemology of self-locating beliefs.

Her research bridges formal epistemology and AI ethics, addressing topics such as algorithmic profiling, epistemic injustice, recommender systems ethics, and governance challenges posed by emerging technologies. Key projects include the OII's Governance of Emerging Technologies (GET) programme and collaborative work on digital ethics frameworks.

Recent publications explore hermeneutical injustice in algorithmic systems, Bayesian reasoning in uncertain contexts, and ethical implications of multi-stakeholder AI. Her work emphasizes structural epistemic harms, governance models for online targeting, and the normative dimensions of recommendation systems.
