About
Zhao Mu is an emerging scholar at the intersection of organizational sociology, technology ethics, and rural development. Their most-cited work, "Social robots in the context of corporate participation in rural revitalization: A binary legitimacy perspective" (2024, 15 citations), introduces a novel theoretical framework that examines how corporations deploy social robots in rural revitalization efforts. Mu argues that these initiatives must navigate both pragmatic legitimacy—meeting tangible economic and social needs—and moral legitimacy—aligning with local cultural values and ethical norms. This binary perspective challenges conventional top-down models of technological adoption, offering a more nuanced understanding of how automation can be integrated into community-driven development. While early in their career, Mu’s work is already shaping conversations in critical technology studies and rural sociology, particularly among scholars interested in the ethical dimensions of AI deployment in non-urban settings. Their research promises to influence policy debates on responsible innovation and corporate social responsibility in developing regions.
