About

Andrea Lavazza is a leading voice at the intersection of neuroethics, AI ethics, and the philosophy of technology. His work critically examines how emerging technologies reshape human agency, decision-making, and moral responsibility. Lavazza’s most influential paper, “AI and society: a virtue ethics approach” (84 citations), offers a foundational framework for embedding ethical character into AI systems. He further explores the digital transformation of reality in “Infosphere, Datafication, and Decision-Making Processes in the AI Era” (28 citations), analyzing how data-driven environments alter human autonomy. A notable contribution is his analysis of Neuralink’s brain-computer interfaces (18 citations), where he balances the medical promise of neurotechnology—such as the Blindsight implant for vision restoration—against profound ethical challenges around privacy, identity, and equity. Lavazza also confronts existential risks in “Human Extinction and AI” (12 citations), arguing that humanity possesses intrinsic moral value that must be preserved against techno-solutionist narratives. His work is essential for students and researchers seeking a rigorous, human-centered perspective on the ethical governance of AI, neurotech, and the future of human flourishing.
