About
Lavinia Marin is a philosopher and ethicist whose research lies at the intersection of technology, care ethics, and social justice. Her work critically examines how emerging technologies—particularly assistive robotics and AI—reshape human relationships, labor, and vulnerability. In her highly cited 2024 paper, "Emotional Labor and the Problem of Exploitation in Roboticized Care Practices," Marin advances the framework of Care-Centred Value Sensitive Design by exposing how robotic care systems risk exploiting the emotional labor of both caregivers and care recipients. She argues that without careful ethical design, these technologies can deepen existing inequalities rather than alleviate them. Building on the foundational work of Aimee Van Wynsberghe, Marin’s scholarship offers a nuanced critique that bridges feminist ethics, philosophy of technology, and practical design considerations. Her contributions have quickly gained traction, with her most-cited work already accumulating 5 citations in under a year—a strong indicator of its growing influence. Marin’s research is essential reading for anyone interested in ensuring that the future of care robotics is not only efficient but also just and humane.
