Bio

I am Assistant Professor of Philosophy at IE University’s School of Humanities, where I hold the UNESCO Chair in AI Ethics and Governance.

My research addresses questions in applied ethics through the lens of political philosophy. Much of my work concerns how democratic values apply when power is exercised by private and artificial agents. My first book, The Tyranny of Generosity: Why Philanthropy Corrupts Our Politics and How We Can Fix It, was published by Oxford University Press in 2022. As detailed here, I frequently contribute to relevant public debates and advise organizations on navigating value trade-offs and strategic challenges.

I have held previous appointments at University of Oxford, Hertie School, Goethe University, and Stanford University. I received my Ph.D. from Princeton and A.B. from Harvard, and I spent time in between on social advocacy and policy research.
