David J. Gunkel
I have written and published nine monographs on the philosophy of technology, Internet studies, digital ethics, and AI/robot ethics. I have also edited three collections of essays. These twelve books have been published by leading academic publishers, like the MIT Press, Rowman & Littlefield, Routledge, Indiana University Press, Peter Lang, and Polity, and have won numerous awards and international recognitions.
I have written and published over eighty articles, book reviews, and book chapters in peer-reviewed scholarly journals and anthologies. These texts address a diverse and wide range of subjects in the philosophy of technology, digital ethics, and AI/robot ethics and have appeared in venues like Ethics and Information Technology, Critical Studies in Media Communication, and New Media and Society.
I have lectured on the philosophical aspects of the Internet, computer technology, digital media, and artificial intelligence/robotics at universities and to professional organization in the United States, Canada, Austria, United Kingdom, Brazil, and Poland. I have participated in panels and delivered award-winning scholarly papers and presentations at numerous conventions, conferences, and workshops.
