Stony Brook University Technology and Society

Prof. Joseph S. Cabuay is an Associate Professor (Teaching) of Technology Systems Management in the Department of Technology & Society at SUNY Korea – Stony Brook University. His teaching and scholarly interests center on the governance, ethics, and institutional dimensions of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies — and on developing leaders and engineers who can govern, manage, and make sound ethical judgments in technology-driven environments.

His courses span both undergraduate and graduate levels, reflecting a coherent curriculum centered on technology leadership and AI governance. At the undergraduate level, he teaches EST 110: The Social Impact of Artificial Intelligence, EST 326: Management for Engineers, EST 331: Engineering & AI Ethics, and EST 372: The Mobile Revolution in Development Management. At the graduate level, he teaches EMP 501: Leadership, EMP 501: Organizational Behavior Aspects in Management, and EST 502: Ethical
Decision Making. Taken together, the curriculum equips students at every level to lead, govern, and make sound ethical judgments in technology-driven, AI emerging ecosystems.

His applied research, conducted over the course of his professional career, focused on operational efficiency, organizational performance, and human capital development within large-scale enterprise environments. That body of work, carried out in partnership with major multinational firms across multiple industries, informs both his course design and his perspective on how institutions adopt, govern, and — at times — fail with technology.

Prof. Cabuay brings to the classroom more than three decades of senior experience across multilateral, public-sector, and corporate institutions. He currently serves as a senior facilitator, program designer, and advisor for board-level AI governance programs across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, including mandatory accreditation programs for directors of regulated financial institutions. This active engagement with boards, senior executives, and regulators ensures that the governance frameworks, risk considerations,
and ethical challenges his students examine are drawn directly from current institutional practice.

His professional record includes service on the Secretary-General’s detail at the United Nations Secretariat under Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Kofi Annan; a role as Vice President of Global Business Development at the New York City Economic Development Corporation; and senior advisory and leadership development engagements with Samsung Electronics, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Standard Chartered, among others, across more than fifty cities worldwide. Prior to his civilian career, he served as a decorated U.S.
Marine completing highly special assignments in conjunction with the U.S. State Department.

Within the university, Prof. Cabuay serves as Chief Architect of the Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) and as Chief Architect and Program Organizer of the Teaching Excellence Forum & Learning Optimization Network (TEFLON), both of which he founded to advance teaching quality and faculty development across the SUNY Korea campus. He is actively engaged with the university’s Career Development Center and has developed and presented topics such as “Global Careers in an AI world” for SUNY Korea students.
