Jess de Jesus de Pinho Pinhal

Researcher in Philosophy at Technical University of Berlin

I am a political philosopher of technology. My background in computer science and philosophy allows me to reflect deeply on the new anthropological changes brought by AI and other emerging technologies. I am a founding member of the Berlin Ethics Lab and of the art collective Trial & Theresa. I also give talks, interviews, write and educate. I think critically about technology with the hope to improve their governance, centering intersectionality and global justice.
