About
Sarah Chan is a scholar whose research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and healthcare ethics, with a particular focus on how emerging technologies reshape human relationships and social care. Her most influential work examines the affective and relational dimensions of AI and robotic systems, interrogating what it truly means to be human in an era of increasingly sophisticated machines. Her 2021 paper, "What makes AI 'intelligent' and 'caring'?" has garnered 95 citations, establishing her as a significant voice in debates around embodiment, emotion, and human-machine interaction within health and care contexts. Complementing this, her 2023 study moves beyond speculative narratives to ground AI futures in empirical reality, drawing on interviews with scientists, clinicians, and policymakers across five countries to articulate what "acceptable futures" for healthcare AI might genuinely look like. Together, these contributions reflect Chan's commitment to rigorous, socially engaged inquiry that challenges both uncritical enthusiasm and unfounded fear surrounding technological change. Her work is essential reading for anyone seeking a nuanced, human-centred understanding of AI's role in contemporary healthcare systems.
