Miron J. Clay-Gilmore is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Centre for Ethics at the University of Toronto. He is the first Black philosopher to earn a PhD from the University of Edinburgh. His research examines the racialized applications of artificial intelligence, big data, and predictive policing within broader regimes of counterinsurgency and state violence. Drawing from Africana philosophy, Black male studies, and the thought of Dr. Huey P. Newton, his work explores how emerging technologies reproduce militarized systems of racial control. Dr. Clay-Gilmore has published in AI and Ethics, Res Philosophica, and the Journal of African American Studies. He also teaches in the Department of Philosophy.
