Phillip H. Kieval
Philosopher of AI. University of Florida.
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the Universisty of Guelph.
I primarily work on the philosophy of artificial intelligence, especially applications of AI in science. I am also interested in what artificial neural networks can teach us about the architecture of the mind. While my research is grounded in the philosophy of science and cognitive science, I also have interests in social-political philosophy, value theory, and the history of philosophy, especially where these areas intersect with aspects of machine learning.
Before Guelph, I was 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. 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.
