James Maclaurin is a philosopher of science with particular interest in computing and information science (particularly artificial intelligence and it’s impact on humanity) and in the life sciences (especially ecology and evolutionary biology). He is a graduate of Victoria University of Wellington and his PhD is from the Australian National University (RSSS).
