About

Nader Ghotbi is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare, and ethics, with a particular focus on the societal and moral implications of emotional AI. His work critically examines how AI systems that recognize and simulate human emotions are perceived and accepted, especially within Japan’s healthcare system. Ghotbi’s most influential study, “Understanding the acceptance of emotional artificial intelligence in Japanese healthcare system” (2022, 79 citations), provides foundational insights into clinic visitors’ attitudes, revealing both openness and concerns about privacy and empathy. He further explores ethical dimensions in “Moral Awareness of College Students Regarding Artificial Intelligence” (2021, 52 citations), highlighting generational perspectives on AI morality. His recent nationwide survey (2024) continues to shape public discourse by gauging opinion on emotionalized AI in medical settings. Through these contributions, Ghotbi has become a key voice in bioethics and technology assessment, offering evidence-based guidance for policymakers and developers. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in responsible AI deployment, human-machine interaction, and the cultural factors influencing technology adoption in healthcare.
