About
Fabio Pianesi is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics, with a particular focus on the ethical dimensions of persuasive technology. His work critically examines the moral implications of autonomous systems designed to influence human behavior, especially through communication. Pianesi’s most cited papers, including "Is It Morally Acceptable for a System to Lie to Persuade Me" (2014, 2015), each garnering 3 citations, tackle the pressing question of whether intelligent persuasive systems can ethically employ deception. These contributions are foundational for understanding the acceptability criteria of increasingly autonomous agents, such as robots and AI, in sensitive domains. Beyond this, Pianesi has made notable achievements in multimodal interaction, user modeling, and affective computing, helping to shape how systems perceive and respond to human social signals. His work bridges technical innovation with ethical foresight, making him a key voice in ensuring that AI systems are designed with moral responsibility in mind.
