About

David De Roure is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital humanities, the Internet of Things (IoT), and human-robot interaction. His work explores how emerging technologies reshape creative and security landscapes, with a particular focus on the cultural and practical implications of intelligent systems. De Roure’s most cited paper, “AI security and cyber risk in IoT systems” (2024, 44 citations), critically examines the vulnerabilities of low-memory connected devices—such as drones and autonomous machines—and proposes frameworks for managing cyber risks in these resource-constrained environments. This contribution is vital as IoT devices proliferate across industries. In a more creative vein, his paper “Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music” (2016) challenges conventional boundaries by investigating robots as autonomous musical performers and composers. This work probes audience perceptions of robotic intelligence and artistry, blending technical innovation with philosophical inquiry. De Roure’s interdisciplinary approach—spanning cybersecurity, AI, and the arts—demonstrates a unique ability to bridge technical rigor with humanistic questions, making his research both impactful and thought-provoking for students and scholars navigating the future of human-machine collaboration.
