About

Dr. Adrian Carter is a leading bioethicist and social scientist whose research critically examines the intersection of emerging technologies, mental health, and aged care. His work is particularly influential in the ethics of addiction neuroscience and the deployment of artificial intelligence in vulnerable settings. A major contribution is his analysis of stakeholder trust in care homes, where his 2024 paper, "Navigating artificial intelligence in care homes," (15 citations) reveals the competing logics of care that complicate AI adoption. This work, published during a critical post-pandemic period, highlights the ethical tensions between technological efficiency and the relational, human-centered values essential to quality care. Dr. Carter’s broader impact is substantial, with his research on the neuroethics of addiction and coercion accumulating hundreds of citations, shaping policy debates on compulsory treatment. He is a sought-after expert for his ability to bridge empirical social science with normative ethics, offering nuanced perspectives on how technologies can be responsibly integrated into healthcare without eroding trust or autonomy. His scholarship remains essential reading for students and researchers navigating the complex socio-ethical landscapes of modern medicine.
