Narrative identity
AI systems increasingly participate in the descriptions through which people become socially and institutionally legible.
ARTUR ZIGANSHINPHILOSOPHER / RESEARCHER / FOUNDER
Philosophy of AI grounded in the realities of digital systems.
My research sits between philosophy of technology, epistemology, ethics, narrative identity, digital rights, and institutional responsibility. It asks what happens when computational systems become part of how people are described, judged, remembered, and governed.
Position
AI ethics must remain connected to power, evidence, and remedy.
I am not interested in treating AI as a fictional moral person or in reducing ethics to a checklist. The relevant questions concern the institutions that build and deploy systems, the claims those systems are permitted to make, the persons who bear the consequences, and the routes through which error can be challenged and repaired.

Epistemic responsibility
A fluent output should not acquire authority without traceable evidence, uncertainty, and a responsible human or institution.
Institutional ethics
Responsibility cannot disappear into a chain of providers, models, interfaces, and operators.
