Ramón Alvarado is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oregon. He researches the epistemic and ethical implications of the use of computational methods and technologies in science and society. He has published papers on the epistemic implications of data-driven technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in science as well as on the challenges of justifying our ubiquitous reliance on computer simulations for scientific inquiry. He also written about the challenges that opaque computational methods such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data pose to democratic processes.
