Lucius Caviola is an Assistant Professor in the Social Science of AI at the University of Cambridge. His research explores how artificial intelligence will change future society and what new ethical challenges it may pose. A current focus is the question of digital minds—the possibility that AI systems could develop minds that matter morally. He directs Cambridge Digital Minds and works within the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence. He also serves as a Research Associate in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University.
