About
Aida Ponce del Castillo is a leading voice at the intersection of law, ethics, and emerging technologies, with a primary focus on the societal implications of robotics and artificial intelligence. Her work critically examines how these technologies reshape fundamental rights, particularly in healthcare and the workplace. Her most-cited paper, "‘Nothing Comes between My Robot and Me’: Privacy and Human-Robot Interaction in Robotised Healthcare" (2019, 12 citations), is a landmark study that dissects the privacy paradox in human-robot interaction. In this work, she argues that the intimate, trust-based relationships users form with care robots create unprecedented vulnerabilities for personal data, challenging existing legal frameworks. Beyond this, Ponce del Castillo has made significant contributions to understanding algorithmic management and the future of work, often highlighting the need for robust worker protections and democratic oversight. Her research is notable for bridging technical realities with human rights law, making her a sought-after expert for policy bodies like the European Trade Union Institute, where she is a Senior Researcher. With a growing citation impact, her scholarship is essential for anyone studying the ethical governance of automation.
