Dario Cecchini, PhD

Academic philosopher

Hi there!

I am researcher in moral philosophy. I hold a PhD from the University of Genoa and more than three years of postdoctoral experience. I published one monograph and numerous peer-reviewed articles in the fields of moral psychology and applied ethics.

Research Interests

My research, situated at the intersection of moral psychology and applied ethics, is structured around three fundamental questions:

​

  1. What mental processes underlie moral judgment and behavior?

  2. How can moral judgment and behavior be improved?

  3. How can human moral judgment and behavior be reproduced within AI systems?

 

My approach to these problems is deeply interdisciplinary, integrating the conceptual rigor of analytic philosophy with the empirical methods of cognitive and behavioral sciences.
