Ben Baker, JD PhD

Currently a postdoctoral fellow in computational neuroscience, I am preparing to transition to the role of Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Colby College starting Fall 2023. My research sits at the intersection of Philosophy of Mind, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, and AI.

My work delves into issues about how to distinguish different kinds of intelligent systems, with an emphasis on comparing humans and AI. I have a foundation in Law and Ethics, and am passionate about fostering the safe and equitable integration of AI into society.
