François Zammit works in the field of education and holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Malta. His doctoral research examines the theological dimension of neoliberal thought and its role in producing new forms of being. His thesis also investigates the role of emerging digital technologies in shaping life as conceived by the market order. He has published papers interpreting Hayek’s neoliberalism as an economic theology. Zammit’s current research focuses on cybernetics and power, as well as the application of political theology to conceptualise and understand the impact of artificial intelligence and emerging digital technologies.
