At Cambridge he has been an advocate for the protection of freedom of speech, in reaction to the university administration's cancellation of an invitation to the politically conservative academic
Jordan Peterson.[6][7][8] In 2020, Ahmed also led opposition to the University's proposed amendments to its freedom of speech policy, ultimately concluding with the rejection of the amendments.[9][10]
Ahmed is the author of the books Saul Kripke (Continuum Books, 2007), which analyses the philosophy of
Saul Kripke,[14] and Evidence, Decision and Causality (Cambridge University Press, 2014), which defends
evidential decision theory and critiques
causal decision theory.[15] Ahmed is also the editor of both Wittgenstein's Philosophical investigations: A critical guide (Cambridge University Press, 2010)[16] and Newcomb's Problem (Cambridge University Press, 2018).[17]
