About

Georg Starke is a leading voice in the ethics of medical artificial intelligence, with a core focus on the philosophical and practical implications of trust in autonomous systems. His most-cited work, "Intentional Machines: A Defence of Trust in Medical AI" (2021, 57 citations), challenges the prevailing skepticism by arguing that trust is not only possible but necessary for navigating the risks and uncertainties of AI in clinical settings. This contribution reframes the debate, moving beyond simplistic notions of reliability to explore how trust can function as a legitimate social strategy in human-machine interactions. Starke’s research bridges bioethics, philosophy of technology, and AI governance, offering nuanced insights into how we should design, regulate, and relate to intelligent systems. His work has become essential reading for scholars and practitioners grappling with the ethical dimensions of deploying AI in high-stakes environments like healthcare. By defending the intentionality of machines in a morally relevant sense, Starke has carved out a distinctive and influential position in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI ethics.
