The fields of study he is best known for:
- Law
- Epistemology
- Artificial intelligence
Environmental ethics, Epistemology, Transhumanism, Posthuman and Superintelligence are his primary areas of study.
His Environmental ethics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Slippery slope, Dignity, Human extinction, Prejudice and Existentialism.
In general Epistemology, his work in Sleeping Beauty problem, Thought experiment, Anthropic principle and Doomsday argument is often linked to Reference class problem linking many areas of study.
His Transhumanism research includes themes of Technology policy, Emerging technologies, Information technology and Personal development.
His Posthuman research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Scientific law, Skepticism and Civilization.
His research integrates issues of Progress in artificial intelligence, Cognitive science, Public relations and Opinion poll in his study of Superintelligence.
His most cited work include:
- Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies (656 citations)
- Cognitive Enhancement: Methods, Ethics, Regulatory Challenges (370 citations)
- Are We Living in a Computer Simulation (333 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Nick Bostrom spends much of his time researching Epistemology, Human enhancement, Environmental ethics, Argument and Superintelligence.
He interconnects Bioethics and Credence in the investigation of issues within Epistemology.
His Human enhancement research incorporates themes from Ethical issues, Engineering ethics, Applied ethics, State and Posthuman.
Nick Bostrom usually deals with Environmental ethics and limits it to topics linked to Dignity and Slippery slope.
His studies in Superintelligence integrate themes in fields like Progress in artificial intelligence, Cognitive science, Management science and Ai systems.
In his study, Humanity is strongly linked to Public relations, which falls under the umbrella field of Progress in artificial intelligence.
He most often published in these fields:
- Epistemology (31.65%)
- Human enhancement (13.92%)
- Environmental ethics (12.66%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?
- Superintelligence (11.39%)
- Epistemology (31.65%)
- Cognitive science (6.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Nick Bostrom mostly deals with Superintelligence, Epistemology, Cognitive science, Artificial intelligence and Progress in artificial intelligence.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Philosophy of science, Ai systems and Management science.
His study in Epistemology focuses on Human enhancement in particular.
His study in Cognitive science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ethical issues, Collective intelligence and Instrumental convergence.
The Instrumental convergence study combines topics in areas such as Nothing, Differential technological development, Human condition, Construct and Dystopia.
The concepts of his Progress in artificial intelligence study are interwoven with issues in Public relations and Humanity.
Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies (656 citations)
- The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (219 citations)
- Future Progress in Artificial Intelligence: A Survey of Expert Opinion (178 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Law
- Epistemology
- Artificial intelligence
His primary scientific interests are in Superintelligence, Cognitive science, Progress in artificial intelligence, Artificial intelligence and Philosophy of science.
His studies deal with areas such as Artificial intelligence, situated approach, Collective intelligence, Sentience and Ethics of artificial intelligence as well as Superintelligence.
Nick Bostrom focuses mostly in the field of Cognitive science, narrowing it down to topics relating to Instrumental convergence and, in certain cases, Nothing, Differential technological development, Human condition, Construct and Dystopia.
His Progress in artificial intelligence research includes elements of Data science, Humanity, Public relations and Opinion poll.
His Applications of artificial intelligence study, which is part of a larger body of work in Artificial intelligence, is frequently linked to Oracle, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Philosophy of science research incorporates elements of Intelligent agent, Management science and Rationality.
