About
Else Giesbers is a leading voice in the ethics of emerging agricultural technologies, focusing on the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and societal values in the agri-food sector. Her work critically examines how AI-driven robots—from autonomous harvesters to livestock monitoring systems—can be developed and deployed responsibly. Giesbers’ most influential paper, “Ethical aspects of AI robots for agri-food; a relational approach based on four case studies” (2022, 28 citations), pioneers a relational ethical framework that moves beyond abstract principles to assess real-world impacts on farmers, animals, and ecosystems. She further advances this field with her recent work on Value Sensitive Design (VSD), demonstrating how human values like fairness, transparency, and animal welfare can be systematically integrated into agri-food robot development. By bridging engineering and ethics, Giesbers provides actionable guidance for designing technology that respects both human dignity and environmental sustainability. Her research is essential for anyone seeking to navigate the moral complexities of automation in food production, ensuring that innovation serves people and the planet.
