About
Markus Otsus explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, public perception, and military ethics, with a particular focus on how laypeople understand and represent autonomous systems. His most-cited work, "Lay representations of artificial intelligence and autonomous military machines" (2023), investigates public discourse surrounding AI and its deployment in weaponised autonomous ground vehicles. Drawing on focus group data from Estonia, Otsus employs automatic text analysis to uncover nuanced societal attitudes toward these emerging technologies. This research is pivotal in bridging the gap between technical development and public understanding, highlighting the ethical and psychological dimensions of autonomous military systems. With 8 citations, this study contributes to growing conversations in human-computer interaction and security studies. Otsus’s work is especially relevant for students and researchers examining how societal narratives shape the adoption and governance of AI in high-stakes contexts. By centering the perspectives of ordinary citizens, he underscores the importance of inclusive dialogue in shaping responsible innovation.
