About
Maria Stavrou is a leading researcher in the psychology of technology, with a primary focus on human–machine interaction and the societal perception of artificial intelligence. Her most significant contribution is the development and validation of a cross-cultural, multilingual short measure for assessing attitudes toward AI, published in her landmark 2020 paper, which has garnered over 305 citations. This work provides a critical tool for researchers and policymakers to quantify public sentiment—from enthusiasm to skepticism—across German, Chinese, and English-speaking populations. By bridging psychometrics and digital innovation, Stavrou’s research illuminates how individual differences shape the adoption of emerging technologies. Her findings are essential for designing user-centered AI systems and for understanding the psychological barriers to technological acceptance. Beyond this core achievement, her work informs debates on digital ethics and the future of work, making her a key voice in the responsible integration of AI into everyday life.
