About

Joachim von Braun is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and global development, with a particular focus on how these technologies impact the world’s most vulnerable populations. His research critically examines the dual nature of AI and robotics, exploring both their immense potential for societal good—in areas like sustainable development and peace—and the profound ethical, policy, and human rights risks they pose. Von Braun’s work is distinguished by its forward-looking, multidisciplinary approach, as exemplified in his highly cited book *Robotics, AI, and Humanity* (2021, 38 citations). He has pioneered a crucial line of inquiry into the implications of AI for the poor, developing frameworks to understand how these technologies might affect livelihoods, health, and education in marginalized communities (e.g., “AI and Robotics Implications for the Poor,” 2019, 11 citations). By bridging cutting-edge technological frontiers with pressing humanitarian concerns, von Braun provides essential guidance for policymakers and researchers navigating the complex ethical landscape of our automated future.
