Yasemin J. Erden serves as an Associate Professor specializing in Philosophy with a pronounced focus on the ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence, health and well-being, and the societal implications of emerging technologies. Her interdisciplinary work bridges philosophical inquiry with neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and cognitive science to address critical questions at the intersection of human identity and technological augmentation.
Her core research interests include:
- Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Autonomy
- Philosophy of Mind in Cognitive Prostheses
- Autonomy and Authenticity in Technology-Enhanced Selves
- Research Integrity and the Replication Crisis
- Ethical Assessment of Medical Robotics and Exoskeletons
- Memory, Identity, and Neural Enhancement Technologies
Analysis of her recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a concentrated investigation into how cognitive and physical augmentation technologies reshape human experience. She critically examines hippocampal prostheses through functionalist philosophy, analyzes exoskeleton ethics across clinical/military contexts, and connects lying behaviors to foundational questions in philosophy of mind. Her work demonstrates consistent engagement with practical implementation challenges of ethical frameworks in real-world technological applications.
Dr. Erden actively contributes to academic discourse through invited presentations on AI ethics, including "Ethics practice for science correction" (2023), "AI for psychiatry" (2023), and "Me, Myself, and AI" (2023). She extends her expertise to public audiences through media engagements such as commentary on tech sector trust dynamics (TikTok analysis, 2023) and human enhancement technologies (2022).
