About
Galia Assadi is a leading voice in the ethics of human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the role of artificial emotions in caregiving. Her research critically examines the philosophical and ethical implications of deploying emotionally and socially sensitive robots in contexts like elder care. Assadi’s major contribution lies in reframing the dominant discourse: she argues that much of the excitement around “caring” robots reflects a form of technological solutionism rather than a realistic understanding of care work. Rather than asking how to make robots more emotional, she insists on a more urgent ethical question: how we should responsibly manage the genuine feelings that arise between humans and machines. Her most-cited work, “Künstliche Emotion – Zum ethischen Umgang mit Gefühlen zwischen Mensch und Technik” (2023), has garnered 5 citations and serves as a foundational text for scholars in robot ethics and philosophy of technology. Through her incisive critiques, Assadi challenges the field to move beyond hype and toward a more honest, human-centered ethics of artificial companionship.
