About
Karol Samson is a researcher at the forefront of understanding human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on societal attitudes toward automation in the labor market. Their work examines the psychological and demographic factors that shape acceptance of and resistance to robots in professional settings. In their highly cited 2024 study, “Ready or Not? Examining Acceptance and Fears of Robots in the Labor Market: A Survey of a Polish Sample,” Samson surveyed over 1,000 participants to assess perceptions of robots in the workplace. The research revealed that women and individuals in lower-skilled occupations expressed significantly higher concerns and lower acceptance of robots, highlighting critical social and gender divides in technological readiness. Although early in their career, Samson’s work has already garnered attention for its timely and policy-relevant insights, contributing to ongoing debates about the future of work, automation anxiety, and inclusive technology adoption. Their research is essential reading for scholars in human-robot interaction, labor economics, and technology acceptance.
