About

Katarzyna Ginszt’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, ethics, and legal philosophy, with a primary focus on the moral and legal status of autonomous systems. Her most cited work, “Status of Robots in Moral and Legal Systems” (2019, 2 citations), critically engages with David J. Gunkel’s influential book *Robot Rights*, examining the foundational question: “Can and should robots have rights?” Ginszt applies the Humean distinction between “is” and “ought” to deconstruct the arguments for robot personhood, offering a nuanced analysis of the ethical and legal frameworks that might govern human-robot interactions. While her citation count is modest, her work contributes to a growing and vital discourse on how societies might integrate increasingly autonomous machines into existing moral and legal structures. Ginszt’s scholarship is notable for its philosophical rigor, bridging abstract ethical theory with pressing practical concerns about accountability, rights, and the future of law in an age of intelligent machines. Her research is particularly relevant for students and scholars exploring the ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence and robotics.
