Kateřina Marková is a PhD Level Researcher at the Centre for Ethics as a Study in Human Value (CE) at the University of Pardubice. The working title of her dissertation is “Hyper-evil or Hyper-good? An Analysis of Ethical Challenges Exposed in Vulnerable Communities through Hyper-personalization of Digital Content”. In her project, she examines the impact of digital content – curated through algorithms guided by the principle of profitability – on the autonomy of the members of vulnerable communities and the communities themselves. Drawing on theories, models, and methods from philosophy, ethics, and human-computer interaction, her research combines philosophical reflections with a qualitative exploration, which is well-suited to uncover experiences specific to the individuals’ contexts. Her project is supervised by Juraj Hvorecký (CETE-P) and Ondřej Beran (CE) and she conducts her research under the grant Human-centered AI for a Sustainable and Adaptive Society (HumanAId).

Kateřina holds an MA in Multimedia from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto, Portugal. She has over 15 years of working experience as a design professional in the tech industry. Her prior research focused on the impact of our day-to-day data management decisions on the world and the people around us after we die from the ethical, ecological, and economic perspectives.
