About me

I started my PhD in practical philosophy in the fall of 2024, as part of the Research School Norms and Normativity (NoNo). My research project is called "In AI We Trust? An Ethical Inquiry into AI Paternalism in Public Healthcare” and it focuses on the risk of AI paternalism in medical decision-making. This project places particular emphasis on bioethics and AI ethics with the aim of exploring how AI paternalism will impact the bioethical norms of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy and justice. Both my bachelor's and master's degrees are from Umeå University, where I have written about bioethics and ethical issues related to CRISPR and gene-editing technologies, the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as AI questions regarding autonomy.
