Christopher Burr (The Alan Turing Institute)

I am an Ethics Fellow of the [Alan Turing Institute's](https://www.turing.ac.uk/people/researchers/christopher-burr) Public Policy Programme. My research expertise includes trustworthy AI systems, digital mental healthcare, responsible research and innovation, data ethics, and philosophy of cognitive science 🧠. My research has been featured in the [Conversation](https://theconversation.com/charities-are-contributing-to-growing-mistrust-of-mental-health-text-support-heres-why-179056), the [Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/feb/19/mental-health-helpline-funded-by-royals-shared-users-conversations), BBC Radio 4, the [New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/30/technology/facebook-instagram-threads.html) and [Vox](https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/11/28/18102745/cellphone-distraction-brain-health-screens-kids). I have also advised numerous policy makers and worked with the Ministry of Justice, Office for Artificial Intelligence, Information Commissioner's Office, Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and the Department of Health and Social Care. But my most important research is the constant learning involved with being a loving father and husband 👨‍👩‍👧! When I'm not figuring out how to do the above, you can find me at the bouldering gym figuring out how to ascend a bouldering problem 🧗 Please see [here](https://chrisdburr.github.io/publications) for a full list of publications and links to articles (with and without paywalls 💰).
