About

Antoni Gomila is a researcher whose work sits at the fascinating intersection of cognitive science, ethics, and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on the moral dimensions of autonomous robotic systems. His most recognized contributions center on the philosophical and practical challenges posed by increasingly sophisticated artificial agents — most notably explored in his work on moral emotions for autonomous agents, which has generated scholarly attention across multiple publication venues. Gomila's research grapples with a foundational tension in AI development: the relationship between autonomy and moral responsibility. He draws a careful distinction between two classes of problems facing artificial cognition — ensuring that robotic behavior remains aligned with ethical standards, and addressing the deeper philosophical questions about whether and how artificial systems can be genuine moral actors. By bringing emotional and psychological frameworks into conversations about machine behavior, his work bridges philosophy of mind and applied robotics ethics. Though his citation counts remain modest, reflecting either the specialized nature of the field or the emerging stage of the discourse at the time of publication, Gomila's contributions represent early and thoughtful engagement with questions that have since become central to AI ethics — making his scholarship increasingly relevant as autonomous systems grow more prevalent in society.
