About

Michelle Ausman is a leading voice in the pedagogy of responsible technology, with her research centering on the ethics of artificial intelligence and robotics in graduate education. Her most-cited work, "Teaching the Ethics of AI and Robotics to Graduate Students" (2024), addresses a critical gap in modern academia: the need for graduate students across all disciplines to develop both technological literacy and a robust ethical framework for navigating AI and robotics. Ausman argues that as these technologies become embedded in research, students must learn not just how to use them, but how to wield them responsibly. Her contribution provides a foundational curriculum model for integrating ethics into technical training, directly shaping how universities prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers. While her citation count is still growing—a testament to the emerging nature of this field—her work is already influencing course design and policy discussions. Ausman’s scholarship is essential reading for educators and students alike, offering a timely roadmap for ensuring that innovation is guided by conscience.
