About Dr Peter Ellerton

Dr Peter Ellerton is a philosopher and Senior Lecturer at UQ. He's also the founding director of the UQ Critical Thinking Project — one of Australia's leading centres for the study of how people reason, argue and decide. He calls what we're facing the 'principled rebellion': the refusal to surrender human reasoning to the convenience of AI. For lawyers, whose authority rests on judgement that can be explained and defended, that refusal isn't optional. It's your job.
