This year’s Montgomery Fellows Program focuses on agency, speech, and ethics in the AI era, bringing together experts who have addressed technical, legal, cultural, and philosophical aspects of decision-making and computer-mediated communication.

Professor Sylvie Delacroix, Director of the Centre for Data Futures and Inaugural Jeff Price Chair in Digital Law, is a philosopher and legal theorist. Her work addresses the ethical, legal, and political dimensions of technology. She has published work on habit, an area of human life that she describes as “both nature and ‘more than mere’ nature.” In addition to theorising digital ethics, she has also contributed to policy work on trust and transparency in relation to governmental use of data and the use of algorithms in criminal justice. Her work has had important implications for thinking about human ethical agency in the face of rapidly growing data archives and automated system.
