Biography
Dr. Miron J. Clay-Gilmore is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Ethics and the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society at the University of Toronto. He is the first Black philosopher to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh and is the Founder and Director of the Clay-Gilmore Institute for Philosophy, Technology, and Counterinsurgency (CG-IPTC).
Dr. Clay-Gilmore’s research examines how artificial intelligence, big data, and predictive policing sustain racial hierarchies and counterinsurgent forms of governance. His work situates contemporary algorithmic systems within the historical continuum of militarism, surveillance, and state violence, revealing how digital technologies reproduce the logics of control and dispossession. Through the CG-IPTC, he leads interdisciplinary research and public initiatives that investigate the ethical and political implications of technological power.
His publications have appeared in AI and Ethics, Res Philosophica, American Philosophical Quarterly, and The Journal of African American Studies.
