About

Dr. Maho Omori is a leading voice in the socio-ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence in geriatric care. Her research critically examines the intersection of technology, trust, and caregiving, with a particular focus on how AI—including robots and chatbots—is reshaping long-term care environments. In her highly influential 2024 paper, *"Navigating artificial intelligence in care homes: Competing stakeholder views of trust and logics of care,"* Dr. Omori dissects the tensions between systemic pressures in nursing homes—exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic—and the ethical implications of deploying AI as a solution. Her work reveals how competing logics of care and trust among residents, families, and staff complicate the adoption of these technologies. With 15 citations in just its first year, this paper has rapidly become a cornerstone for scholars studying AI ethics in healthcare. Dr. Omori’s contributions are vital for policymakers and practitioners navigating the delicate balance between technological efficiency and compassionate, person-centered care. Her research challenges the field to ask not just *if* AI can work in care homes, but *how* it can do so without eroding the human trust at the heart of caregiving.
