About
Piercosma Bisconti is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, social psychology, and the ethics of emerging technologies. With a particular focus on companion robots, sexual robotics, and artificial intelligence, Bisconti has built a body of scholarship that rigorously examines how intelligent machines reshape human relationships, identity, and social systems. Among his most significant contributions is his theoretical work on the psychological mechanisms underlying human-robot interaction, including a framework that uses sexual robotics as a lens to illuminate broader dynamics in companion robot relationships. His early paper on companion robots (2018, 22 citations) became a foundational reference for distinguishing ethical concerns native to robotics from pre-existing societal anxieties. He has also tackled questions of trust in AI through systematic review methodology, robot gender attribution, and the philosophical problem of alienation and recognition in human-robot sociality. His 2023 book *Hybrid Societies* represents a culminating theoretical achievement, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding how social robots will transform intersubjective relationships at a systemic level. With over 85 cumulative citations across his publications, Bisconti has established himself as a thoughtful and interdisciplinary voice in the fast-evolving conversation about humanity's coexistence with intelligent machines.
