About

Joseph Corneli is a researcher whose work bridges artificial intelligence, ethics, and cognitive science, with a particular focus on developing frameworks for moral agency in AI systems. His most notable contribution is the introduction of VirtuosA (‘virtuous algorithm’), a model that integrates theological concepts from Christian philosopher Dallas Willard with neurobiological structures and systems thinking to teach ethical behavior to AI. This interdisciplinary approach, detailed in his 2021 paper "The Anatomy of Moral Agency," has garnered 3 citations and represents a novel synthesis of virtue ethics, neuroscience, and machine learning. Corneli's work stands out for its ambition to ground AI ethics in a robust philosophical and biological framework, offering a pathway toward more morally competent artificial agents. Beyond this, his research explores the intersection of technology, human cognition, and moral development, making him a distinctive voice in the growing field of AI ethics. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking to understand how ancient ethical traditions can inform modern technological challenges.
