About

Marianna Leventi is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, moral philosophy, and social psychology. Her scholarship critically examines how people assign blame and moral responsibility when autonomous systems fail, with particular attention to the social and ethical dimensions that conventional frameworks often overlook. In her notable 2025 paper, "Who Is Responsible? Social Identity, Robot Errors and Blame Attribution," Leventi challenges traditional blame practices, arguing they inadequately account for power dynamics and discriminatory social structures. A central concern in her research is the risk that robots embodying socially coded roles may reinforce harmful stereotypes, raising urgent questions about equity and justice in the design and deployment of artificial agents. Though early in her career, her work has already begun attracting scholarly attention, signaling its relevance to growing interdisciplinary conversations about AI ethics and accountability. Leventi's contributions are particularly valuable for researchers grappling with how emerging technologies interact with entrenched social inequalities, offering a nuanced lens that bridges technical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives on responsibility in an increasingly automated world.
