Radu Uszkai, researcher at the Research Centre in Applied Ethics (CCEA), participated in the First Annual Meeting of the PPE Society (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) in Europe on July 16-18, 2025, hosted by the prestigious King’s College London (KCL).
Radu Uszkai made a dual contribution to this benchmark academic forum, presenting two major research papers at the intersection of AI, ethics, and political philosophy:
- “Send your avatar to workday: digital duplicates as proxies and the principal-agent problem” (in collaboration with Emanuel-Mihail Socaciu) – An analysis of the ethics of avatars and digital duplicates within the complex principal-agent relationship.
- “We are bots: is Mill’s argument futile?” (in collaboration with Constantin Vică) – A critical exploration of John Stuart Mill’s argument regarding liberty and individuality, weighed against the reality of artificial agents.
This participation in the first European meeting of the PPE Society reaffirms CCEA’s active role in shaping leading academic debates that explore the vast impact of technology on the foundations of political and moral philosophy.
