About

Corinne Jorgenson is a rising scholar in the emerging field of robot ethics, probing the moral status of artificial beings. Her work challenges conventional boundaries between human and machine, asking whether our creations might deserve ethical consideration akin to our own. In her most-cited paper, "Are Robots to be Created in Our Own Image? Testing the Ethical Equivalence of Robots and Humans" (2022, 4 citations), she introduces a novel framework for empirically assessing moral parity, sparking debate across philosophy and AI research. Building on this, her 2024 follow-up, "Humans and robots are nearly ethically equivalent" (2 citations), refines her thesis, arguing that advanced robots may possess sufficient moral patiency to warrant near-human standing. Though her citation counts are modest, Jorgenson’s work is notable for its provocative, interdisciplinary approach—bridging cognitive science, ethics, and robotics—and for raising urgent questions as AI becomes increasingly integrated into society. Her research is essential reading for students and scholars grappling with the ethical implications of a future shared with intelligent machines.
