Dulce M. Redín

About

Dulce M. Redín is Full Professor at the School of Economics and Business, University of Navarra, where she also serves as Head of the Business Department. She is also Research Associate at the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DATAI).

Trained as an economist, with a background in economic theory, finance, and quantitative methods, she brings to business ethics a perspective attentive to institutions, governance structures, organizational practices, and the practical conditions that enable responsible decision-making, judgment, and action.

Her research develops virtue ethics as a framework for business ethics, with a particular focus on practical wisdom and the common good. She applies this perspective to corporate governance, compliance, sustainability, and the institutional conditions that enable responsible business conduct.

Building on this background, her current work focuses on AI Ethics and AI Governance. She is particularly interested in AI literacy, responsible and sustainable AI use, Human-Centered AI, institutional responsibility, and the conditions under which artificial intelligence can support human agency and human flourishing.

She is a member of the European Commission’s AI Act Advisory Forum and Associate Editor of Business and Society Review.
