Her most-cited work, "Sexuality and Affection in the Time of Technological Innovation: Artificial Partners in the Japanese Context" (2021, 21 citations), offers a pioneering analysis of the cultural and ethical implications of these emerging technologies, challenging simplistic narratives about their impact. Aoki’s contributions extend beyond academia; she is recognized for bridging Japanese studies with global debates on human-machine relationships, providing nuanced insights into how tradition and innovation coexist. Her work has been cited in fields ranging from sociology to robotics ethics, underscoring its interdisciplinary reach. Aoki’s research not only illuminates a rapidly evolving area of human experience but also invites critical reflection on the future of connection in an increasingly digital world.
