About

Arkadiusz Gut is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics, moral psychology, and human-AI interaction. His work fundamentally explores how humans perceive, assign moral status to, and interact with artificial agents—including humanoid robots, chatbots, and avatars. Gut’s most influential paper, “From robots to chatbots: unveiling the dynamics of human-AI interaction” (2025, 23 citations), provides a critical framework for understanding the social integration of AI across healthcare, education, and entertainment. He further investigates the psychological underpinnings of moral inclusion, notably examining how beliefs about mind and soul shape the moral status of humanoid robots and cyborg persons (2023). His research uniquely bridges anthropocentric beliefs with the assignment of moral consideration to non-human entities, including chimpanzees and artificial beings. With a growing citation impact, Gut is shaping contemporary debates in posthumanism and transhumanism, offering empirical insights into the conditions under which humans extend moral community membership to machines. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the ethical and social dimensions of emerging AI technologies.
