About
Lan Luo is a developmental psychologist whose research explores the intersection of moral cognition and social perception across the lifespan. Her most-cited work, “Human’s moral judgements towards different social actors: A cross‐sectional study” (2023), investigates how children, adolescents, and adults evaluate the moral standing of human and non-human agents, including artificial intelligence. Using classic moral dilemmas adapted as “ship problems,” Luo’s study reveals that moral judgments shift with age and are influenced by the perceived nature of the social actor—whether human, robot, or other entity. This work has garnered early attention (3 citations) for its timely relevance as AI becomes embedded in daily life. Luo’s research contributes to our understanding of how moral frameworks develop and adapt in response to emerging technologies, offering insights into both cognitive development and human-AI interaction. Her findings have implications for ethics education, AI design, and policies governing autonomous systems. As a rising scholar, Luo is helping to shape how we think about morality in an increasingly complex social world where the boundaries between human and machine are blurring.
