Marco Tulio Daza, Ph.D. Candidate in Economics and Business

I’m a Professor currently on study leave at the University of Guadalajara (Mexico), and an associated member of the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DATAI) of the University of Navarra (Spain). Previously, I served as an Assistant Professor of Business Ethics at Dublin City University. I have extensive experience lecturing at undergraduate and graduate levels, having taught in academic institutions across Mexico, Spain, and Ireland.

I’m pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics and Business at the University of Navarra, where I specialize in AI Ethics. My research interests include exploring the effects of Technology on Society and the Economy. Utilizing a neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics framework, I examine how liberal principles can serve as foundational ideals guiding societal development. In 2023, our research team was awarded a research grant from the IBM Tech Ethics Lab at the University of Notre Dame to conduct research on the ethics of AI-language models. Currently, I am part of the group selected by the European Commission to draft the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice under the AI Act.

Throughout my career I have engaged in scholarly activities across a diverse array of institutions. My contributions include teaching, delivering keynote speeches, and active participation in numerous seminars, workshops, and discussion forums. These activities have been hosted by renowned universities and institutions, including Bentley University, Carl Von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, George Mason University, ISEM Fashion Business School, Łódź University of Technology, University of Illinois, Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi, and the Universidad Tecnológica Privada de Santa Cruz.

Furthermore, I have been fortunate to receive funding for my training and research endeavors from renowned institutions, including the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), the Acton Institute, the Academy on Capitalism and Limited Government, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA), The Institute for Humane Studies, The Liberty Fund, and the Mexican Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT).
