Dr A.C.P. Peeters (Anco)

I'm a philosopher and cognitive scientist specialising in artificial intelligence. In my work, I strive to answer the question: “How do we flourish with artificial intelligence?” In investigating how to live well with AI-systems, I examine the relevant moral concerns and behavioural influence of AI through the lenses of virtue ethics and embodied cognition. I've also worked on other topics, including the importance of embodiment in virtual reality (affordances), neurophenomenology and episodic memory, and the role of gender in social robotics. I am chair of the bachelor's Degree Programme Committee (DPC) of Artificial Intelligence at Radboud University.

As I find it important that my research makes a societal impact, I regularly give presentations to non-scientific audiences and collaborate with governmental, ngo, and healthcare partners. For example, I've advised national and local governments on the ethics of AI, was board member of the Filosofisch Café Nijmegen, contribute to NOLAI projects on AI at schools, and advise medical professionals on AI in healthcare (PersOn / ELSA).
