About

Dr. Martina Mazzoleni is a leading voice in the ethics of emerging technologies, with a primary focus on the moral implications of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Her most-cited work, "Ethics of Care and Robot Caregivers" (2018), has garnered 9 citations and critically examines the integration of AI-driven devices into medical and caregiving contexts. Mazzoleni challenges the field to move beyond purely functional assessments, arguing that the introduction of robot caregivers demands a robust framework grounded in the ethics of care—emphasizing empathy, relationality, and the preservation of human dignity. Her contributions are particularly significant in an era of rapid technological adoption, as she provides essential ethical scaffolding for developers and policymakers. By bridging philosophy and applied technology, Mazzoleni’s research ensures that the design and deployment of AI in sensitive environments are guided by moral responsibility. Her work has become a touchstone for scholars exploring the intersection of machine agency and human vulnerability, marking her as a thoughtful and influential critic in the ongoing dialogue about our technological future.
