Guido Cassinadri M.Phil.
Guest scientist and PhD candidate
Guido Cassinadri is a PhD candidate in Health Science, Technology and Management at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa and a guest scientist at the Chair of Ethics of AI and Neuroscience at the Institute for History and Ethics of Medicine at TU Munich. He is particularly interested in the intersection between the philosophy of cognitive science, neuroethics and philosophy of technology. His research interests concern the ethical implications of human-AI cognitive integrations. In his doctoral research, he is trying to bridge the gap between the extended mind theory and neurorights, by analyzing the ethical and normative implications of different ontologies of the mind on neurotechnologies regulations.
He holds bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Philosophy at the University of Bologna. He wrote his master’s thesis on the theory of extended mind and extended cognition thanks to a research fellow scholarship at the department of Cognitive Science of Vassar College, where he was mentored by Professor Gwen Broude. He also worked as a consultant for the company Appears, advising on the potential risks and benefits of introducing generative AI in educational activities.
