Philosophy and AI FIG Instructor and Assistant

Ramón Alvarado studies the implications of the use of computer technologies such as computer simulations, artificial intelligence, machine learning and other data science methods in science and society. His expertise lies at the intersection of philosophy of technology, philosophy of science, and ethics. His most recent publications have focused on issues related to trust in artificial intelligence, injustice and bias in data science, and the reliability of computer simulations in science. His work has been published in influential philosophy and multidisciplinary journals such as bioethics, artificial intelligence and ethics, big data and society, synthese, minds and machines, and foundations of science.

Hi! My name is Ece (she/her) and I am the FIG Assistant for AI and Philosophy. I am a Data Science major with a focus on Marketing, and a minor in Sustainable Business. I was also a student in this FIG, AI and Philosophy with Ramon Alvarado as our faculty member too, and it was an amazing time. On campus, I am involved with the AI Club, Data Science Club, and the Student Alumni Association, and my favorite place on campus has to be either Carson Dining or Lillis Business Complex for studying! I'm originally from Seattle and love it here in Eugene. I love to go bouldering, go on daytrips, volunteer around town, or go out for late night snacks with friends (I recommend Fat Shack for that!). I'm super excited to be a part of this program, so please let me know if you have any questions! See you this fall!
