Jovy Chan

Jovy Chan completed her Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Toronto. Her dissertation examines how our instinct to herd and conform manifests on social media, focusing specifically on how misinformation and bad norms spread online. Her current research turns to look at generative AIs and how their widespread use would impact our epistemic environment and our collective pursuit of knowledge. Jovy is also interested in thinking about our right to free speech, particularly on what it means to protect the right of mutual communication between two willing parties. Prior to pursuing philosophy, Jovy worked as a solicitor in Hong Kong.
