Profile

Philip Brey (PhD, University of California, San Diego) is professor of philosophy and ethics of technology at the University of Twente, the Netherlands, and programme leader of ESDiT (Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies), a ten-year, €27 million research programme involving seven universities (www.esdit.nl). He is a former president of the International Society for Ethics and Information Technology and the Society for Philosophy and Technology, and former scientific director of the 4TU.Centre for Ethics and Technology. He serves on the editorial boards of leading journals in his field, including Ethics and Information Technology and Philosophy and Technology. He has led major national and EU-funded projects, including an NWO Vici project on new media and quality of life, and the EU projects SATORI and SIENNA. He is the recipient of the 2022 INSEIT Weizenbaum Award for excellence in digital ethics.

Research

In his research, Philip Brey examines the ethical dimensions of emerging technologies, with a particular focus on information technology, especially AI, robotics, and extended reality. He also publishes on biomedical and environmental technologies. He has developed several influential approaches in technology ethics, including anticipatory technology ethics and ethical impact assessment, the disclosive computer ethics approach, Ethics by Design for AI (used in the EU Horizon Europe ethics review procedure, with Brandt Dainow), the ETCOM framework, the Societal Readiness Tool, approaches to responsible product innovation, and methods for analyzing the implications of technology for well-being. He was among the first to conduct in-depth ethical studies of technologies such as the World Wide Web, virtual reality, ambient intelligence, facial recognition, and 3D printing.

His research interests include the ethical assessment of emerging technologies, AI ethics, ethics of the future internet, ethics of design, innovative approaches to research ethics, technology and culture in a global context, technology and well-being, and the implications of technology ethics for applied and normative ethics.
