I’ve studied physics and mathematics for a while at the at the University of Lisbon, but ended up graduating in Antropology, in 1996, at the Nova University of Lisbon. Then I began working as an IT consultant for a printing company. In 2007, I left the private sector and started teaching Mathematics at the Higher School for Elementary Teachers Maria Ulrich, where I stayed for seven years. In 2014, I got my doctoral degree in Philosophy of Contemporary Thought, at the University Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, with a thesis about volition and human intelligence simulation, using AI. In 2015, I joined the Centre for the Philosophy of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (CFCUL, now closed), where I came up with the wave-memory interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and started working on the Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence, focusing on the social aspects of AI. Recently (2022, 2024) I have co-organized the first and the second Portuguese Symposiums in Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence, participated in public events and given interviews to the media about AI and society. Presently, I am a Professor in the ISCTE-Sintra School of Digital Technologies, where I teach about the societal and ethical impacts of digital technologies and AI on contemporary societies. My actual interests (and concerns) are AI surveillance and human freedom impact, political manipulation using disinformation, virtual and augmented reality design and artificial consciousness.
