About
Anna Dutkowska explores the psychological and ethical dimensions of how we assign moral status to non-human entities, including animals, robots, and cyborgs. Her research sits at the intersection of moral psychology, posthumanism, and transhumanism, examining how anthropocentric beliefs shape our perceptions of mind, soul, and moral worth. In her most cited work (2023, 2 citations), she investigates the mediating role of mind and soul assignment in determining the moral status of a chimpanzee, humanoid robot, and cyborg person, revealing how deeply ingrained human-centered biases influence ethical judgments. This foundational study contributes to ongoing debates about the boundaries of moral consideration in an era of advancing artificial intelligence and biotechnology. Dutkowska’s work challenges readers to reconsider the criteria by which we grant rights and respect, urging a more inclusive ethical framework. Though early in her career, her research offers critical insights for scholars in psychology, ethics, and technology studies, and promises to shape future discussions on the moral status of emerging intelligent beings.
