Research Experience
My research focuses on ethical issues related to generative AI.
Doctoral dissertation is devoted to the philosophical understanding of how robots and artificial intelligence function in autonomous vehicles. The aim of this dissertation is to identify solutions regarding the robotization and independence of machines as well as the transhumanist understanding of the world, taking into account the intercultural systems of two continents: Asia and Europe. Posthumanism, associated with the mass introduction of new technologies and solutions, requires the redefinition of many concepts, both in the field of philosophy and in the social sciences.
