About

Dr. Anna‐Aurora Kork is a pioneering scholar at the intersection of healthcare ethics, artificial intelligence, and technological literacy. Her research fundamentally redefines how we understand the integration of autonomous systems into care settings, moving beyond technical feasibility to address the critical human and ethical dimensions of these transformations. Her most-cited work, "Care robot literacy: integrating AI ethics and technological literacy in contemporary healthcare" (2024, 12 citations), provides a groundbreaking framework that bridges the gap between abstract AI ethics principles and the practical, value-laden realities of healthcare work. By synthesizing technological literacy with care ethics, Dr. Kork offers a nuanced definition of what it means to be literate in a robotic care environment—a concept essential for training healthcare professionals, designing ethical AI, and shaping policy. This contribution is particularly notable for its timeliness, addressing a pressing global need as care robots become more prevalent. Her work is already shaping conversations in health informatics and robot ethics, establishing her as a vital voice ensuring that technological progress in healthcare remains anchored in compassion and respect for human dignity.
