About

Nicole Capicotto is a leading voice in the emerging field of roboethics, focusing on the ethical frameworks governing robotics and artificial intelligence. Her work critically examines how automated intelligent systems are reshaping industries, from manufacturing to healthcare, and the corresponding need for robust ethical guidelines. In her highly cited 2021 paper, "Roboethics principles and policies in Europe and North America" (19 citations), Capicotto provides a foundational comparative analysis of how different regions are legislating AI and robot behavior, highlighting the gaps and inconsistencies in global policy. She further demonstrates the real-world urgency of her research in "RoboEthics in COVID-19: A Case Study in Dentistry" (16 citations), where she explores the ethical dilemmas of deploying robotic systems in high-stakes healthcare environments during a pandemic. By bridging theoretical principles with practical case studies, Capicotto’s work is essential for students and researchers navigating the moral complexities of a world increasingly run by intelligent machines.
