Dr Brandon Ferlito

Brandon Ferlito is a postdoctoral fellow at EthicsLab. His research examines the ethical, social and governance challenges raised by artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies in healthcare, with particular attention to responsibility, justice and equitable innovation.

Drawing on bioethics, philosophy and science and technology studies, his work explores how responsibilities are distributed across complex socio-technical systems and how governance frameworks might better respond to emerging forms of risk, power and inequality. His research spans AI-driven healthcare, digital health technologies, health data governance and responsible innovation.

He completed his PhD at Ghent University, Belgium, where his doctoral research explored how responsibilities are understood, distributed and enacted in AI-driven healthcare. Prior to this, he studied at Monash South Africa, the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of Pretoria.

Brandon's work focuses on building more socially responsive and ethically robust approaches to AI-driven healthcare, with a particular interest in how AI and emerging technologies shape healthcare systems, professional practices and human relationships.
