About
Bianca Baggiarini is a leading scholar at the intersection of military sociology, critical security studies, and the ethics of emerging technologies. Her work examines how automation and artificial intelligence reshape military labor, combat, and the lived experiences of service members. Her most-cited paper, "Empirical Data on Attitudes Toward Autonomous Systems" (2021, 2 citations), provides rare empirical insight into how military personnel perceive algorithmic decision-making in warfare, challenging assumptions about seamless technological integration. Baggiarini’s broader contributions explore the human dimensions of defense innovation, including the psychological and ethical burdens placed on soldiers in increasingly automated environments. Her research bridges theoretical critique with grounded data, making her a vital voice in debates on the future of warfare. She has also published on military masculinities, drone warfare, and the politics of military service. Though early in her career, Baggiarini’s work is already shaping conversations on how states manage the human costs of technological change. For students and researchers, her scholarship offers a critical, empirically grounded lens on one of the most urgent questions of our time: what does it mean to fight alongside machines?
