About
Dominik Vogel is a leading voice in the ethical integration of autonomous systems within public administration. His research critically examines the intersection of public service, robotics, and ethics, focusing on how robot design and behavior shape citizen trust and moral acceptability. In his highly cited 2022 work, "Ethics of robotized public services," Vogel argues that as governments deploy unsupervised service robots, these machines must be programmed to navigate complex ethical dilemmas—a challenge that goes far beyond technical efficiency. With over 33 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference for scholars exploring the moral frameworks of "smart" governance. Vogel’s contributions are pivotal for policymakers and engineers alike, demanding that robot actions be transparent, fair, and aligned with public values. His work not only highlights the risks of dehumanized service but also offers a roadmap for designing robots that enhance, rather than undermine, democratic accountability. For students and researchers, Vogel’s scholarship is an essential guide to the ethical frontier of digital government.
