About

Anthony Elliott is a prominent sociologist whose research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital culture, and social theory. Best known for his ground-breaking 2018 work *The Culture of AI: Everyday Life and the Digital Revolution* — his most cited publication with 53 citations — Elliott challenges prevailing assumptions about AI, arguing persuasively that the revolution reshaping society is not a distant science-fiction scenario but an immediate transformation of everyday life. His scholarly contributions extend into the ethics and sociology of automated systems, exploring how AI and robotics are reconfiguring human mobility, from weaponized drones to autonomous vehicles, as examined in his 2018 article on automated mobilities. Elliott has also investigated the nuanced cultural dimensions of aged care robotics in Japan, reflecting his sensitivity to how technological adoption varies across social contexts. As a theorist, he co-authored *Introduction to Contemporary Social Theory* alongside Charles Lemert, demonstrating a commitment to making complex ideas accessible to new generations of scholars. Through an impressive and diverse body of work, Elliott has established himself as a leading voice helping social scientists navigate the profound implications of the digital and robotic age.
