Field of research
Tomasz Hollanek is a PhD researcher at the University of Cambridge, working at the intersection of design theory, technology ethics and critical AI studies. His PhD work focuses on the role of critique in the design process in general – and the development of artificial intelligence in particular. He is also a PhD Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI) at Cambridge and has contributed to various research projects, including the Global AI Narratives Project at CFI, the Computational Propaganda Project at the Oxford Internet Institute, and the Ethics of Digitalization research sprint hosted by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard.
