About

Daniel Trusilo’s research centers on the applied ethics of autonomous systems, bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and real-world technological evaluation. His major contributions lie in developing and testing practical methodologies for assessing the ethical dimensions of both embodied robotic systems and disembodied artificial intelligence. In his 2021 study, “The Ethical Assessment of Autonomous Systems in Practice” (6 citations), Trusilo and his team applied a 2017 theoretical tool to four existing autonomous robotic systems, demonstrating how abstract ethical principles can be operationalized in concrete engineering contexts. Building on this work, his chapter “Ethical Artificial Intelligence: An Approach to Evaluating Disembodied Autonomous Systems” (6 citations) extends the same framework to cyber systems, offering a proactive guide for navigating ethical and regulatory norms in AI development. While his citation counts reflect an emerging career, Trusilo’s impact is notable for its pragmatic focus: he provides engineers and policymakers with actionable tools to embed ethics into design processes, rather than merely critiquing outcomes. His work is a vital resource for students and researchers seeking to align autonomous technology with societal values.
