Wendell Wallach has an international reputation as an expert on the ethics and governance of emerging technologies, particularly AI. While semi-retired he continues to lecture and consult. From 2020-2024, he was Carnegie/Uehiro Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs (CCEIA) where he founded and co-directed (with Anja Kaspersen) the AI and Equality Initiative. He is also an advisor to The Hastings Center and a scholar at the Yale University Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics where he chaired Technology and Ethics studies for eleven years. Wallach’s latest book, a primer on emerging technologies, is entitled, A Dangerous Master: How to keep technology from slipping beyond our control.  He co-authored (with Colin Allen) Moral Machines: Teaching Robots Right From Wrong.  The World Technology Award for Ethics was awarded to Wendell in 2014 and for Journalism and Media in 2015. More recently, Wallach has been referred to as, “a Godfather of AI Ethics.”
