About

Dr. Katharina Bauer is a leading voice in moral philosophy and technology ethics, whose work examines how technological change reshapes moral norms and responsibilities. Her research centers on moral education, technomoral resilience, and the ethical implications of emerging technologies in care practices. In her highly influential paper "Technomoral Resilience as a Goal of Moral Education" (2022, 7 citations), Bauer introduces a groundbreaking framework for preparing individuals to navigate the moral complexities of rapidly evolving technological landscapes. She argues that moral education must cultivate resilience—the capacity to critically adapt and maintain ethical integrity amid technological disruption—rather than simply teaching fixed norms. This work has become foundational for scholars exploring how societies can foster moral agency in contexts ranging from AI-driven healthcare to automated decision-making. Bauer’s contributions extend to analyzing how robots in elderly care require caregivers to share moral responsibility, challenging traditional notions of accountability. Her scholarship bridges theoretical ethics and practical pedagogy, offering actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and technologists. With her innovative focus on technomoral resilience, Bauer is shaping the next generation of ethical thinking in an increasingly dynamic world.
