About

Dr. Abhas Tripathi is a leading voice in the ethics and governance of emerging technologies, with a primary focus on the socio-technical tensions surrounding robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) in long-term care. His most cited work, “Tensions and antagonistic interactions of risks and ethics of using robotics and autonomous systems in long-term care” (2021, 60 citations), critically examines the precarious balance between the promise of RAS to address workforce shortages and the ethical risks of depersonalizing care for older adults. This seminal paper has become a cornerstone for policymakers and researchers navigating the governance vacuum in this rapidly evolving field. Dr. Tripathi’s contributions illuminate the antagonistic interactions between efficiency-driven technological adoption and the fundamental values of dignity, autonomy, and human connection in care settings. His research is widely cited for its nuanced framework that challenges simplistic narratives of technological solutionism, offering instead a roadmap for responsible innovation. By foregrounding the voices of vulnerable populations and the complexities of real-world implementation, Dr. Tripathi has established himself as a critical thinker shaping the future of ethical AI and robotics in healthcare.
