Research

My research is in moral psychology and AI ethics. I write on the topics of trust, promises, character, self-deception, and rationalization.  I have also done work in bioethics (in particular, trust and consent) and the philosophy of art (in particular, fiction-directed emotion, imaginative resistance, and digital art).

My two main projects right now are a book on the ethics of trust that I’ve been writing while a Fellow at the Harvard Center for Ethics (tentatively titled “Open Encounters”) and a number of interdisciplinary papers on the moral psychology of our interactions with AI (in particular, AI apologies, AI trustworthiness, and flourishing with (or despite?) AI).

All of my papers are listed at my Google Scholar page and my papers in philosophy journals are listed at my PhilPeople page.
