L.E. Siffels (Lotje) MA

Lotje Siffels is a postdoc at the National Education Lab AI (NOLAI) and at the department of ethics and political philosophy, investigating the ethical and societal implications of AI in education. She uses an empirical philosophica approach to study how the use of AI impacts edcuational values, and specifically focuses on the dangers of technosolutionism.

Her PhD was part of the 'Digital Good'-project, which investigated the growing presence of Big Tech companies in health. This project investigated how Big Tech expansionism could be seen as a series of sphere transgressions into other sectors, and mapped the different conceptions of the common good that are at stake.

Lotje studied philosophy and history at the University of Amsterdam and obtained her research master at Utrecht University. During and after her studies she worked at the Utrecht Data School as a junior researcher on the ethics of digitization in Dutch local government.
