Cody Turner

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Bentley University. From August 2024 to August 2025, I was a postdoctoral research fellow on AI and Human Cognition at the Applied Ethics Center and the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. Before that, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Notre Dame-IBM Tech Ethics Lab at the University of Notre Dame from August 2022 to August 2024.

I obtained a Ph.D. from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Connecticut in June 2022 and a BA in philosophy from the College of William & Mary in May 2017. In addition to my current appointment, I am a Future of Consciousness Fellow in the Center for the Future of Mind, AI, & Society at Florida Atlantic University, as well as a Research Fellow at the UMass Boston Applied Ethics Center.

My areas of specialization include philosophy of technology, AI ethics, and virtue epistemology. My research exists at the intersection of these subfields, focusing on artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, social media, and neurotechnology.
