A selection of my works related to philosophy.

Machine Ethics

Artificial Intelligence is a buzz word in the media today. While many questions are highly speculative, e.g. if we end up with a “singularity” or a super-intelligence, I am investigating issues of artificial morality that are relevant today. Algorithms are already in place to assist humans or file decisions themselves. However, I see a need to conduct research on the ability of machines to act in an ethically responsible way. The scale on which these systems are implemented urges for an attentive evaluation of their design. 

Master's ThesiS

Distributive Justice

What is a just way to distribute certain goods? As soon as resources become scarce, one has to develop a certain measure to decide upon their allocation. I am generally interested in issues of distributive justice and the development of systems that translate philosophical ideas into real world scenarios.
