About

Niels Frederik Garmann-Johnsen explores the critical intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and human values, with a particular focus on healthcare and European perspectives. His most influential work, "What is it about humanity that we can’t give away to intelligent machines? A European perspective" (2021, 57 citations), examines the growing tension between human freedoms and machine control in an era of rapid AI advancement. This paper has become a touchstone for researchers grappling with the ethical boundaries of automation. In his earlier work, "Service Robotics in Healthcare: A Perspective for Information Systems Researchers?" (2014, 12 citations), Garmann-Johnsen pioneered the call for Information Systems scholars to engage with service robotics in clinical settings, bridging a gap between engineering and IS research. His contributions are particularly notable for bringing a distinctly European humanistic lens to debates about AI implementation, challenging the field to consider what aspects of humanity must remain beyond the reach of intelligent machines. Through his research, Garmann-Johnsen continues to shape conversations about responsible innovation in healthcare and beyond.
