Zach Peck

Zachary Peck is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Ramapo College of New Jersey, where he joined the faculty in Fall 2025. He completed his PhD in Philosophy at the University of Cincinnati, where his dissertation was titled "Group Agency and AI," arguing that artificial systems are best understood as components embedded in cyborgian group agents rather than as independent agents. He holds an M.A. in Philosophy from Georgia State University (2018), an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Georgia (2021), and a B.S. in Philosophy, Psychology, and History from East Tennessee State University (2015). His research sits at the intersection of philosophy of technology, philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and the ethics of AI, with a particular focus on how insights from the biological and social sciences can inform risk mitigation for digital technologies. He received a small grant to attend a CFAR (Center for Applied Rationality) workshop in Prague, reflecting engagement with the rationality and x-risk community.
