About

Maria Karyotaki is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, social inclusion, and human-computer interaction. Her work centers on leveraging emerging technologies—including mobile platforms, virtual reality, robotics, and the Internet of Things—to develop intelligent conversational agents that bridge social divides. Her most cited paper, "Mobile/VR/Robotics/IoT-Based Chatbots and Intelligent Personal Assistants for Social Inclusion" (2024, 9 citations), establishes a foundational framework for how chatbots and intelligent personal assistants can promote social equity. Karyotaki’s key contribution lies in demonstrating how these artificially intelligent systems—integrating computational linguistics, automatic speech recognition, and natural language processing—can deliver personalized, interoperable, and scalable solutions for marginalized populations. By focusing on safe information delivery and user-centered design, she has advanced the practical application of dialogue systems in real-world social contexts. Her work is particularly notable for its interdisciplinary approach, merging technical innovation with pressing societal needs. As a researcher, Karyotaki continues to shape how conversational agents can foster inclusion, making her a vital voice in the ongoing conversation about technology’s role in building more equitable communities.
