Ning Wang

Ning is an ethicist and a political scientist based at University of Zurich since 2017. She has a broad research interest in the ethics assessment and responsible governance of new and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous systems. Through empirical studies, Ning aims to address the ethical, social, legal and regulatory challenges new technologies pose to society, explore responsive analytical approaches in the assessment of them, and propose practical governance tools for the design, development, and use of them. Conceptually, Ning is interested in exploring philosophical notions such as human nature, identity, agency, autonomy, social responsibility, distributive justice, and the good life. Methodologically, she seeks to draw on insights gained through trans-disciplinary research in co-creation processes.
