Personal information

Johannes Reisinger is a doctoral researcher at the Professorship of Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. His dissertation addresses the control problem of AI from a broader philosophical perspective on control. At the general level, he investigates the nature of control: its underlying mechanisms and the normative question of whether control is good or bad. In the case of AI specifically, he asks whether and how we can control AI systems.

His doctorate is supervised by Prof. Sven Nyholm and Dr Benjamin Lange (LMU) and by Prof. Ezio Di Nucci (University of Copenhagen).

Johannes holds an M.A. in Philosophy from LMU, an M.Sc. in E-Business from Copenhagen Business School, and a B.A. in Philosophy and History from LMU Munich. This dual background in philosophy and digital business informs his approach to AI ethics as both a conceptual and an applied field. Alongside his doctoral research, he convenes Comparing Notes on Trustworthy AI, a practitioner-led series on AI governance, and teaches ethics and history at a Munich Gymnasium.
