Marco Tulio Daza Ramírez, Ph.D.

I am a researcher and educator working at the intersection of AI ethics, governance, and the impact of technology on business and society. I hold a PhD in Economics and Business at the University of Navarra (Spain), specializing in AI ethics and human-centered governance, and graduating Sobresaliente cum laude with International Doctor distinction.

My research examines how AI systems, design choices, and institutional incentives shape human capacities such as judgment, attention, and the ability to relate. Drawing on neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics and human-centered AI governance, I explore how technology can better serve human flourishing, the common good, and inclusive development.

I am an associated member of Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DATAI), and a Carl Menger Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University (USA). My policy-oriented work on AI governance spans both European and Spanish contexts, including participation in the drafting of the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice under the EU AI Act and co-authorship of a white paper on ethical AI standards in human resources.

I also hold a position as Full Professor, currently on leave, at the University of Guadalajara (Mexico), where I previously served in senior university management. My academic experience spans Mexico, Spain, and Ireland, including teaching for a semester at Dublin City University and serving as a visiting scholar at the Irish Institute for Digital Business. My work has been supported by institutions including AIER, the Acton Institute, DAAD, the IBM Tech Ethics Lab, NAWA, the Institute for Humane Studies, Liberty Fund, CONACYT, and NextGenerationEU.
