Philosopher–technologist Brendan McCord joins Dr Caroline Green to explore how the humanities can shape the AI age, from human-centered design to raising “philosopher-builders” who code with ethical purpose.
n this episode of Accelerating AI Ethics, Brendan McCord, founder of the Cosmos Institute and HAI Lab funder, talks with Dr Caroline Green about bringing philosophy into AI development. He shares his journey from submarine officer and tech founder to philosopher-builder, the creation of Oxford’s Human-Centered AI Lab, and why cultivating moral autonomy matters in an era of algorithmic suggestion. Together they discuss how philosophy can guide technologists toward human flourishing and a more reflective digital future.
