Notre Dame Professor Meghan Sullivan Advocates for Ethical AI Development
Meghan Sullivan, a philosophy professor at Notre Dame, is actively working to integrate ethical frameworks into artificial intelligence (AI) development. Supported by a $50.8 million grant from the Lilly Endowment, Sullivan is engaging with AI leaders and developers through Notre Dame's Institute for Ethics and the Common Good. Her mission is to provide AI with a moral compass, drawing on her expertise as a virtue ethicist. Sullivan employs the Socratic method to encourage developers and the public to explore their agency and choices in the context of AI. Her efforts aim to awaken individuals to the power they hold in shaping AI's impact on society.
