About
Heike Felzmann is a prominent researcher at the intersection of ethics, law, and emerging technologies, with particular expertise in artificial intelligence, robotics, and data governance. Her most influential contribution, "Transparency you can trust" (2019, 408 citations), has become a landmark work examining what transparency requirements under the GDPR genuinely demand of AI and automated decision-making systems, deftly bridging legal frameworks and practical technological concerns. This foundational interest in transparency extends to robotic technologies, where she has explored its multiple dimensions beyond simple accountability mechanisms. Felzmann has made substantial contributions to the ethics of assistive and care robotics, particularly in the context of elderly people living with dementia. Through her involvement in the EU-funded MARIO project, she championed genuine end-user empowerment, ensuring that people with dementia had meaningful input into robot design and deployment. Her work further encompasses wearable robots and exoskeletons, producing both a widely-cited ethical taxonomy and practical implementation guidelines for developers navigating complex ethical, legal, and societal considerations. With additional scholarship on cloud-based healthcare robotics and privacy in human-robot interaction, Felzmann has established herself as an indispensable voice shaping responsible innovation in an era of rapidly advancing intelligent technologies.
