Kayla Carnation
Kayla Carnation
Kayla Carnation earned her Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Bryn Mawr College, followed by a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Over the past two years, she has served as an Artificial Intelligence Engineer, designing and implementing AI systems for various U.S. government agencies, including the U.S. Air Force, Transportation Security Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Customs & Border Protection, and branches of the military. Her interdisciplinary background uniquely positions her research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and philosophical inquiry, particularly exploring the philosophical dimensions of AI systems, the philosophy of mind, and embodied cognition. Kayla is especially interested in understanding how AI systems can inform and be informed by philosophical perspectives on consciousness, embodiment, and the question of other minds. She has additional interests in metaphysics and epistemology.

Andrew Thomas Fyfe
Andrew Thomas Fyfe
Andrew Thomas Fyfe is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Boğaziçi University in İstanbul, Türkiye and teaches the summers at Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth in Baltimore, Maryland. His work primarily concerns philosophy of action, collective agency, and Kantian constructivist (meta)ethics. In particular, inspired by the work of Christine Korsgaard, he defends an Aristotelian-Anscombian theory of individual and group agency against the Bratman-Davidsonian-causalist tradition in order to provide what he takes to be the necessary underpinning for a Kantian ethical outlook. He also writes on early American pragmatism; his most recent work in this area is Carrying Gold to California: “The Will to Believe” as a Work of Philosophy of Science.

Pelin Kasar is a doctoral candidate in philosophy at Central European University, Vienna. She specializes in philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, moral responsibility, implicit bias, and social ontology.

Pelin holds a BA in philosophy from Boğaziçi University and is one of the organizers of the Uppsala-Vienna AI Colloquium Series. In the upcoming academic year, she will be a visiting student at King’s College London.
