About

Mathew Iantorno explores the critical intersection of artificial intelligence, automation, and human labor, with a particular focus on how technological ambitions often clash with real-world limitations. His research examines the phenomenon of “outsourcing” intelligence to machines, revealing how the persistent reassertion of human skills fills gaps left by insufficiently autonomous systems. In his most-cited work, “Outsourcing Artificial Intelligence: Responding to the Reassertion of the Human Element into Automation” (2022, 9 citations), Iantorno challenges the Silicon Valley vision of a workerless future, demonstrating that industrial automation frequently demands more—not less—human intervention. He extends this inquiry into speculative territory with “Lifecycle: A Speculative Fiction on Healthcare Automation” (2022, 2 citations), a short story set in 2036 that imagines a drone-like healthcare robot named HLPR. Through this narrative, Iantorno probes the ethical and practical dilemmas of delegating intimate care tasks to machines. His work is notable for blending rigorous academic analysis with creative storytelling, offering students and researchers a nuanced perspective on the evolving relationship between humans and intelligent systems.
