About
Rob DeSalle is a leading figure in the public understanding of science and technology, with a particular focus on the ethical and social dimensions of emerging fields like robotics and artificial intelligence. His work bridges the gap between complex scientific concepts and public engagement, most notably through the innovative "Born or Built? — Our Robotic Future" exhibition. This project, which forms the basis of his highly cited 2022 paper, directly explores visitor understandings of robotics, encouraging critical dialogue about what it means to be human in an age of intelligent machines. By analyzing the questions and reflections of exhibition attendees, DeSalle provides invaluable insights into how non-experts grapple with the ethical challenges of AI and automation. His research demonstrates a profound commitment to making science accessible and fostering informed public debate on issues that will shape our future.
