About
Matt Adams is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, animal-computer interaction, and autonomous systems, whose work reimagines how technology can serve non-human users. As a lead artist with the renowned collective Blast Theory, Adams spearheads the groundbreaking "Cat Royale" project—a multispecies installation where a robot arm interacts with cats in a bespoke enclosure, exploring trustworthy autonomous systems (TAS) for companion animals. His major contributions include developing frameworks for designing multispecies worlds, charting ethical tensions in technology research through beneficiary-epistemology space, and advocating for animal-centric AI design. With papers accumulating over 44 citations, including "Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans" (17 citations) and "Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research" (13 citations), Adams challenges traditional HCI ethics by centering non-human actors. His work, featured in venues like the TAS Hub, argues for inclusive autonomous systems that prioritize animal happiness, positioning him as a leading voice in posthumanist design. Adams’s creative, artist-led approach bridges art, computer science, and animal welfare, offering a visionary blueprint for technology that enriches the lives of all species.
