Phillip H. Kieval

I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Philosophy and Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Florida supervised by Professor Cameron Buckner.

My work examines how deep learning architectures place interpretable constraints on representation learning and analyzes the relationship between these constraints and inductive reliability. I also have projects in the philosophy of cognitive science, general philosophy of science, and social-political philosophy, especially where these areas intersect with aspects of machine learning.

Before UF, I did my PhD in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge where I was a Gates Cambridge Scholar.

In addition to my PhD, I also served as a Student Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence.
