About
Karsten Wendland’s research lies at the compelling intersection of robotics, ethics, and human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on the emotional and philosophical dimensions of artificial intelligence. His most cited work, a 2020 dialogue with philosopher Dr. Janina Loh, explores the provocative idea that robots simulating emotions can be profoundly significant for human relationships. In this conversation, Wendland engages with Loh’s inclusive ethical frameworks, which challenge traditional boundaries between human and machine identity. The paper, which has garnered 4 citations, examines emotional bonds between humans and robots, drawing from Loh’s influential suhrkamp book “Roboterethik.” While Wendland’s citation count may be modest, his work contributes to a critical, emerging discourse on robot ethics, questioning what it means to form genuine connections with artificial beings. His research is particularly valuable for students and scholars interested in the philosophical underpinnings of AI, offering a nuanced perspective that moves beyond technical functionality to consider the emotional and ethical implications of our increasingly robotic companions.
