About

Marija Slavkovik is a leading voice in the ethics of artificial intelligence, with a research focus that bridges the critical gap between moral philosophy and the technical engineering of autonomous systems. Her most influential work, "Towards Moral Autonomous Systems" (2017), which has garnered 47 citations, is a landmark contribution that directly addresses the underexplored intersection of ethical theory and practical implementation. Co-authored with both philosophers and engineers, this paper lays the groundwork for how we can design machines capable of moral reasoning, moving beyond abstract principles to concrete technical challenges. Slavkovik’s impact extends to shaping the research agenda itself, as evidenced by her leadership in the Dagstuhl Seminar 19171 on "Ethics and Trust: Principles, Verification and Validation" (2019). This seminal workshop brought together top minds to tackle the pressing issues of trust and verification, which she identifies as crucial for the societal acceptance of future autonomous systems. Through her work, Slavkovik is not just studying ethics; she is actively building the frameworks that will ensure our intelligent machines are both trustworthy and morally sound.
