Bio

I am an Australian researcher living and working in Denmark.

Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for the Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Copenhagen. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Philosophy and History of Ideas at Aarhus University, where I worked on the Algorithmic Decision-Making: Philosophical Issues project.

I received my PhD in Philosophy from Monash University, Australia, in January 2024. My dissertation, Data Over Dialogue: Why Artificial Intelligence is Unlikely to Humanise Medicine, was completed under the supervision of Professors Robert Sparrow and Justin Oakley. During my PhD, I also worked as an Associate Investigator on The Uses and Abuses of Black Box AI in Emergency Medicine, a research project funded by Facebook Research, and as a Research Associate within the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science.

Generally speaking, my research aims to address the ethical and epistemological issues of AI systems in high-stakes decision-making environments. I am particularly interested in the implications of AI in medical decision-making. My published work provides direct answers to a variety of complex philosophical questions in this domain. For example:

• Can medical AI systems be trusted? (No.)

• Must doctors disclose their use of medical AI systems to patients? (No.)

• Should continual learning systems be classified, and therefore regulated, as research? (Yes.)

• Is accuracy always preferable to interpretability in medical AI? (No.)

• Is AI likely to improve the quality of care and empathy in medicine? (No.)
