Marija Slavkovik is a  professor at the University of Bergen in Norway. Her area of research is Artificial Intelligence (AI) with expertese in collective reasoning. Slavkovik is active in the AI subdisciplines of: multi-agent systems, machine ethics and computational social choice.

Slavkovik believes that the world can be improved by automating away the borring, repetitive and dangerous human tasks and that AI has a crutial role to play towards this goal. In AI, the big problem she hopes to solve is the efficient self-coordination of systems of artificial intelligent agents.

In machine ethics, Slavkovik is active in engineering machine ethics problems - How can we build autonomous systems and artificial agents that behave ethically? Want to know what is happening in machine ethics since it stopped being an SF-only topic? There is a for that. Slavkovik co-organised a  on this topic. She is also one of the guest editors of the Special Issue on Ethics for Autonomous Systems of the AI Journal.  

Slavkovik is  the vice-chair of the  and member of the informal advisory group on Ethical, Legal, Social Issues  of . She is in the education committee of  curently working on developing a national phd course on AI ethics. 

In computational social choice and multi-agent syste, Slavkovik is particularly active  in Judgment Aggregation. If you are wondering what this is there is a  for that. Her new passion in this field is looking for ways to consider  social network interaction of  agents and what impact that can have on collective reasoning and decision-making, particularly in aggregation.

Slavkovik was the chair and host of the held December 6-7, 2018 in Bergen. Here are the .  She is also in the board of .

Marija is an active  speaker on issues of AI and Ethics. Links to some given talks, articles and interviews.
