About

Ben W. Morrison is a researcher at the intersection of psychology, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction, whose work bridges cognitive science and emerging technologies to address some of the most pressing questions of the modern era. His most influential contribution, the 2021 chapter "Artificial Intelligence and Psychology" (15 citations), examines the deep and historically intimate relationship between psychological science and the development of AI and robotic systems, illuminating how human cognition has long informed machine intelligence. Complementing this, his 2020 study on experimental human-robot interaction (11 citations) critically evaluates methodological constraints in research design, offering important cautions for scholars interpreting findings in this rapidly growing field. Morrison has also turned his analytical lens toward societal implications, exploring automation's threat to employment in his thought-provoking 2017 piece on whether robots will displace human workers. Rounding out his interdisciplinary reach, he has contributed to medical robotics through a narrative review of robotic applications in cancer surgery. Together, Morrison's body of work positions him as a thoughtful and wide-ranging scholar helping both researchers and students navigate the human dimensions of technological advancement.
