Full Professor Vojko Strahovnik serves at the Department of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, while also holding a research fellowship at the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Theology. He currently chairs the Center for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and Ethics of New Technologies and maintains active teaching responsibilities including Metaphysics, Ontology, and Contemporary Metaphysics courses. His international collaborations include visiting positions at the University of Arizona as a Fulbright Scholar (2016) and Templeton Fellow (2022-2023).
Strahovnik's research centers on the structure and phenomenology of normativity, spanning ethics, epistemology, philosophy of science, and aesthetics, with increasing focus on AI ethics. His work explores moral intuitionism, particularism, epistemic identity, and the intersection of religious beliefs with ethical reasoning. Recent projects investigate epistemic virtues in human-AI interaction, ethical dimensions of digital culture, and anthropological challenges of digitalization. His publications reveal a trajectory from foundational work on moral particularism to contemporary explorations of AI ethics and global justice frameworks.
His scientific recognition includes the 2020 Excellence in Science Award from ARIS (ARRS), Fulbright Research Scholarship (2016), and Templeton Fellowship (2022). These honors acknowledge his theoretical contributions to understanding normative domains and practical applications in ethics education.
Strahovnik leads multiple research initiatives including the current 'Epistemic Identity and Epistemic Virtue: Human Mind and Artificial Intelligence' project funded by the Templeton Foundation and Oxford's Ian Ramsey Centre. His international collaborations span EU-funded projects like ETHIKA (Ethics and Values Education in Schools) and LITTLE (Learn Together to Live Together), demonstrating commitment to translating philosophical insights into educational practice. His research group focuses on the philosophical implications of AI while developing practical ethics education frameworks for schools.
The Center for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and Ethics of New Technologies, which he heads, serves as an interdisciplinary hub connecting philosophy, theology, and computer science to address ethical challenges in emerging technologies. His team conducts focus groups and experiential workshops to investigate identity formation in AI-infused environments, bridging theoretical philosophy with practical applications.
