More about Kevin Jung:

Professor, Theological Ethics and Moral Philosophy

Kevin Jung works at the intersection of theological ethics, moral philosophy, and cognitive science. He brings his expertise as an ethicist to guest lectures in neuroscience courses. His latest research delves into the ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI), exploring questions surrounding the moral status of AI. He contemplates whether AI should be regarded as persons, examines the distinctions between humans and AI systems as technology progresses, and considers the implications of AI engagement for society and the world at large. His scholarship explores the enduring relevance of theological concepts and ideas to the contemporary world. He is the author of “Christian Ethics and Commonsense Morality: An Intuitionist Account” (Routledge, 2014) and “Ethical Theory and Responsibility Ethics” (Peter Lang, 2011).
