Dorothy Ngaihlian is a philosophy researcher exploring consciousness and Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on how intelligent systems challenge our understanding of mind, identity, and embodiment. Her research examines whether machines can think, understand, or possess consciousness, drawing from philosophy of mind, language, and computation. She also engages feminist theory as a parallel thread, attending to how power, exclusion, and situated knowledge shape technological design and discourse. Through this interdisciplinary lens, she seeks to question dominant narratives about intelligence and rethink what it means to know, feel, and be, both as humans and as emerging machine minds.
