About

Jeroen Hopster is a leading philosopher of technology whose work centers on the ethics of socially disruptive technologies. His research explores how innovations like artificial intelligence, social media, and artificial wombs fundamentally reshape human identity, social organization, and our relationship with nature. Hopster’s major contribution lies in developing a framework for understanding technologies that do more than just impact society—they actively challenge and destabilize our existing institutions, beliefs, and conceptual categories. His most-cited paper, "Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies" (2023, 45 citations), establishes this core thesis, examining how AI questions human uniqueness, social media threatens democratic processes, and artificial wombs could redefine motherhood. This work has quickly become foundational in the field, demonstrating how ethical analysis must evolve to address technologies that transform the very structures of our lives. Hopster’s scholarship is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the profound moral and social upheavals of the 21st century.
