About

Oliviero Stock is a pioneer in the intersection of artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and cognitive science. His key research areas include social intelligence design, ambient intelligence, and persuasive technology. Stock's major contributions lie in exploring how intelligent systems can understand and influence human behavior in socially aware and ethically responsible ways. His work on social intelligence design for ambient intelligence (12 citations) helped establish a growing research area focused on creating environments that are sensitive and responsive to human social dynamics. Notably, Stock has also delved into the moral implications of persuasive systems, asking the provocative question: "Is It Morally Acceptable for a System to Lie to Persuade Me?" (3+3 citations). This work addresses the critical ethical boundaries of autonomous agents designed to influence human decision-making. Through his leadership in workshops and special issues, Stock has shaped the discourse on how artificial agents can be both intelligent and morally accountable, making him a key figure in the responsible development of human-centered AI.
