About

Rafael Capurro is a pioneering figure in information ethics and roboethics, whose work bridges philosophy, technology, and societal values. His foundational contributions explore the moral dimensions of autonomous systems, particularly through his seminal papers "Ethical regulations on robotics in Europe" (2007, 56 citations) and "Ethics and Robotics" (2009, 36 citations), which critically examine how artificial agents challenge traditional ethical frameworks. Capurro’s research delves into the normative implications of humanoid-human interaction, addressing privacy, autonomy, and the ethical design of technologies like mobile phones and navigation services. His later work, including "Why Information Ethics?" (2018, 5 citations), underscores his role in shaping the discipline as a global discourse on information overload, internet addiction, and environmental impacts. A key achievement is his leadership in developing the "Ethical regulations on robotics in Europe," which influenced policy debates on responsible innovation. With over 100 citations across his most-cited works, Capurro’s interdisciplinary approach continues to inspire scholars and policymakers, cementing his legacy as a thinker who challenges us to embed ethical reflection into the fabric of technological progress.
