About
Corinna Klingler is a leading voice in the ethics of care technology, with a primary focus on the responsible integration of social robots into elderly care. Her work critically examines the ethical tensions between the promise of robotic assistance—such as alleviating caregiver shortages—and the profound risks to human dignity, autonomy, and social connection. In her landmark systematic qualitative review, Klingler synthesizes a wide range of ethical challenges, from deception and privacy to the potential erosion of genuine human interaction. This highly cited work has become a foundational resource for researchers and policymakers navigating the moral landscape of care robotics. By mapping both the benefits and the pitfalls, Klingler provides a balanced framework that urges caution without dismissing innovation. Her scholarship is instrumental in shaping responsible design and deployment guidelines, ensuring that technological progress in care does not come at the cost of the very human values it seeks to support. Through her rigorous analysis, Klingler has established herself as an essential ethicist in the evolving dialogue on aging, technology, and care.
