Chiara Manganini

Hi! I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan, Italy.  

I am part of the Logic, Uncertainty, Computation and Information Group (LUCI Lab) and PhilTech Research Center. Giuseppe Primiero is my supervisor. 

My work  lies at the intersection between philosophy and computer science. I investigate ontological, epistemological, and formal aspects of machine learning systems, and work on how to formalize the intertwined notions of correctness, fairness, and miscomputation. 

My main interests span philosophy, logic, and computer science, including:

• Ethics of AI, data ethics, algorithmic fairness

• Metaphysical and epistemological issues of computational artefacts at large

• Formal models of AI (e.g., neurosymbolic AI)

• Feminist epistemology

Since May 2025, I am co-founder and junior researcher at MIRAI, a spin-off of the Department of Philosophy, University of Milan that helps companies become more conscious of the ethical implications of their AI solutions.
