Biography

Tal Tzur is a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Prior to joining UW-Madison, Tal received a BA (2022) in Political Science and International Relations, as well as an MBA (2024), both from Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Tal’s current research focuses on the concepts of individuality, identity, and sociability within modern and early modern liberal theory, with particular interest in 19th-century German liberal thought, while examining the prospects of these concepts in the age of artificial intelligence. His work also engages with philosophical accounts of AI and draws on liberal political theory to inform our understanding of and relationship with interactive forms of intelligent machines.
