About

Ingvil Hellstrand is a leading voice at the intersection of feminist technoscience, care ethics, and AI ethics, with a particular focus on how emerging technologies reshape human relationships and social justice. Her most-cited work, "Care robot literacy: integrating AI ethics and technological literacy in contemporary healthcare" (2024, 12 citations), pioneers a critical framework that bridges technological literacy with care ethics, arguing that the introduction of robots and AI into healthcare must be guided by existing norms of care, not merely technical efficiency. This contribution is essential for researchers and practitioners navigating the ethical deployment of care robots. Hellstrand’s scholarship also explores how popular culture imagines the boundaries of the human. In "Real Humans?: Affective imaginaries of the human and its Others in the Swedish TV series Äkta människor" (2019, 5 citations), she analyzes how the series’ humanoid robots, or “hubots,” serve as a lens for contemporary debates on immigration, citizenship, and belonging in Sweden. Her work is notable for its interdisciplinary reach, blending science fiction studies with critical posthumanism and feminist theory. Hellstrand’s research is vital for anyone interested in the ethical, cultural, and political dimensions of AI and robotics in society.
