About
Tomasz Grzyb is a pioneering social psychologist whose research lies at the intersection of human behavior, technology, and authority. His most celebrated work, "Obedience to robot. Humanoid robot as an experimenter in Milgram paradigm" (2023), reimagines Stanley Milgram’s classic obedience studies for the age of artificial intelligence. By placing a humanoid robot in the role of the experimenter, Grzyb demonstrated that humans are disturbingly willing to follow orders from non-human authorities—even when those commands conflict with their own ethical instincts. This groundbreaking study, already garnering 3 citations, raises urgent questions about our increasing deference to social robots and AI systems. Beyond this landmark paper, Grzyb’s broader contributions explore how digital environments reshape conformity, persuasion, and social influence. His work has profound implications for robotics ethics, human-computer interaction, and our understanding of authority in a technologically mediated world. For students and researchers, Grzyb offers a compelling warning: as robots become more integrated into daily life, our reflexive obedience may prove as dangerous as it was in Milgram’s original experiments.
