Research profile

Matthew J. Dennis is an Assistant Professor in Ethics of Technology at TU Eindhoven. He is the Co-Director of the Eindhoven Center for Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (ECPAI) and is a Senior Research Fellow with the Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies (ESDiT) consortium. His research focuses on how emerging technologies challenge our notions of fairness, autonomy, well-being, and creativity. He is especially interested in the consumption and creation of digital content, the design of platforms that distribute and amplify content, and synthetic content created using artificial intelligence.

He is the author of Cultivating Our Passionate Attachments (Routledge 2020), and the co-editor of Philosophy of Fame & Celebrity (Bloomsbury 2024), Values for a Post-Pandemic Future (Springer 2023), Ethics of Self-Cultivation (Routledge 2018). He has published research papers in Journal of Value Inquiry, Philosophy & Technology, Ethics & Information Technology, Science & Engineering Ethics, Journal of Applied Philosophy, Ethical Perspectives, Digital Society, Journal of Moral Education, Social Epistemology, Mind & Society, Inquiry: Journal of Interdisciplinary Philosophy, and book chapters with Bloomsbury, Routledge, and Springer.

He has held visiting positions at the University of Oxford's Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence (2023), Erasmus Centre for Data Analytics, University of Amsterdam's Institute for Advanced Studies (2022), University of Cambridge's Centre for the Future of Intelligence (2020).

He has collaborated with non-academic partners, including the European Parliament's Science-Media Hub (interview here) on digital well-being, Royal Bank of Scotland & Natwest Group on fairness in algorithmic credit-scoring, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions & Responsible Sensing Lab on autonomous vehicles, and EIT Digital on gender stereotypes in self-care apps. He also recently co-edited a IEEE Industry Connections Report, "Reconceptualising the Ethical Guidelines for Mental Health Apps: Values from Feminism, Disability, & Intercultural Ethics", for the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers. He became a Next Nature Fellow in 2024, and is currently co-designing their digital wellness space with What Design Can Do.

Before starting his current position, he was a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research Fellow at TU Delft (2019–21) and an Early Career Innovation Fellow at University of Warwick (2019). He received a Joint Monash-Warwick PhD (highest honours) in 2019, and has an MA (Warwick) and BA (Sussex) in philosophy.
