Syed AbuMusab is a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale's Digital Ethics Center, specializing in the philosophy and ethics of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. His research examines how AI systems impact fundamental social institutions, including education, judicial systems, artistic expression, and human relationships. Drawing from feminist philosophy and religious thought, he brings a distinctive multidisciplinary perspective to addressing contemporary challenges in AI ethics. His dissertation explored the social ontological status of chatbots and their implications for societal structures. At the same time, his current work investigates AI alignment with human values from a global perspective, with particular attention to Eastern religious and philosophical approaches. Through his research in the philosophy of mind and computation, AbuMusab aims to ensure emerging technologies contribute positively to diverse communities worldwide while remaining grounded in both philosophical rigor and ethical considerations.
