Research Interest
David works in moral philosophy, metaphysics, and the philosophy of action. The central idea of his recent work is that there is nothing whatsoever that agents in our world are infallibly able to do, no realm of actions insulated from the risk of failure. He argues that this idea has important ethical implications. His current research concerns the ethics of groups that are composed of both human and AI agents, with a focus on the abilities such groups have and the moral responsibility they might bear.
