Carnegie Mellon University has reappointed David Danks head of the Department of Philosophy.
“David has done a great job leading not only the Philosophy Department, but also advancing several key initiatives at the university level that focus on the intersection of humanity and technology,” said Richard Scheines, Bess Family Dean of the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences. “Along with Illah Nourbakhsh, for example, David co-directs the university’s efforts that are funded by the K&L Gates Endowment for Ethics and Computational Technologies. I am very happy that he has agreed to continue as head of Philosophy.”
