Faculty of Philosophy The Oxford Philosophy Faculty has over 150 academic members, all of whom are undertaking teaching and/or research in Philosophy at Oxford. Of these, around 60 hold permanent posts within the Faculty or the colleges; many distinguished philosophers hold posts elsewhere in the University. Oxford thus contains the largest group of philosophers in the UK, and one of the largest in the world. It has a vigorous research culture, and performed outstandingly in the most recent UK Research Excellence Framework, achieving the highest volume of world-leading (4* ranked) philosophy research of any unit in the country. Each year, many distinguished philosophers from around the world visit Oxford to give lectures and seminars. There are over fourteen hundred students studying Philosophy at undergraduate level, always in combination with at least one other subject, and around 150 graduate students, about half of whom are studying for the BPhil or the specialist MSt courses in Ancient Philosophy and Philosophy of Physics, and the rest for the DPhil. A list of current Faculty members and their research interests can be found on the Philosophy Faculty website at: http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/faculty-members. Further information about the Faculty can be found on its website at: http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk. The Institute for Ethics in AI The Institute for Ethics in AI was announced in June 2019 and, starting in September 2025, will be housed in Oxford University's Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Institute responds to the pressing dual need for disciplinary rigour and multidisciplinary engagement in engaging with the important ethical questions thrown up by the development of Artificial Intelligence. The Institute is rooted in rigorous philosophical inquiry. However, it also reaches out across the University and beyond to select the questions to address, understand technological capabilities and constraints, and test proposed solutions. In so doing, it creates a flexible research platform that can engage successfully with the new and ECRF Balliol FPs_HR updated 5 Dec 5 profoundly difficult ethical, metaphysical, and social challenges presented by the form, scale, and scope of emerging capabilities in AI. The Institute is also concerned with fostering the policy impact of research produced by its members and is in the process of making a major investment in a scheme that will significantly increase opportunities for policy impact. The Institute's inaugural Director is Professor John Tasioulas, and it currently includes Associate Professors Dr Carissa Veliz (Philosophy), Dr Katya Hertog (Oxford Internet Institute) and Dr Ignacio Cofone (Associate Professor of Law and Regulation of AI) and Postdoctoral Research Fellows Dr Linda Eggert (Philosophy), Dr Caroline Green (Law), and Dr David Storrs-Fox (Philosophy). The Institute expects to make further appointments over the coming year, as well as two exciting new initiatives. The Institute also benefits from the involvement of its Distinguished Senior Scientist, Sir Nigel Shadbolt, its Head of Technical Engagement, Professor Vince Conitzer, and its Head of Public Engagement, Dr Caroline Green, as well as an array of research associates at different levels of seniority, all of whom contribute to a vibrant cross-disciplinary community. The Institute is administratively located in the Faculty of Philosophy and builds upon the University's world-class capabilities in the Humanities to lead the study of the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and other new computing technologies. Cross-disciplinary collaboration is fundamental to the initiative, and the Institute draws upon the entire educational and research endeavour of Oxford University – including the Social Sciences, Medical Sciences, Mathematical, Physical, & Life Sciences – to deliver innovative, cutting-edge scholarships. It also develops significant opportunities for collaboration on these important issues with other distinguished research universities and public- and private-sector institutions worldwide. Its diverse array of activities includes a popular weekly lunchtime research seminar, regular colloquiums that are open to the public, a fortnightly work-in-progress seminar, an annual lecture, and an Oxford-Berlin Early Career colloquium, among others. The Institute has schemes to support research activity, including an annual research allowance (currently £2,000). For more information, see the Institute's website. Balliol College There are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationallyrenowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects and from different cultures and countries. Balliol is one of the bestknown of all the Oxford colleges. It combines an outstanding academic reputation with a welcoming and cosmopolitan environment. Balliol enjoys a strong sense of collective identity, shared by academics, students, staff, and alumni. It is one of the larger Oxford colleges, with almost 400 undergraduates and a nearly equal number of graduates; at any one time, there are around 65 undergraduates reading for joint degrees with philosophy and a dozen students of postgraduate courses in Philosophy. The Director of the Institute for Ethics in AI is a Fellow of Balliol, as is the Professor of the Philosophy of Law. There are three Tutors in Philosophy, and the College also has considerable interdisciplinary expertise in joint PhilosophyScience subjects, in addition to strong links with both the social sciences and the humanities. For more information, please visit: https://www.balliol.ox.ac.uk ECRF Balliol FPs_HR updated 5 Dec 6 Humanities Division The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the following faculties: Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Oriental Studies; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art. The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720 students on postgraduate taught courses. The Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, following the recent announcement of the £150 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building will bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant cultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold experimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. The Faculty of Philosophy will move to the Schwarzman Centre upon the completion of the project.
