Description
Total funding amount: GBP 238,155.
Length: 3 years, from January 2022 to December 2024.
Funder: Wellcome Trust (London, UK, United Kingdom)
GRANT NUMBER: [223540/Z/21/Z]
The focus of my Fellowship, titled 'Caring Machines', is to trace the journey of AI and robotics innovation in care, from research laboratories to end-users, while highlighting the ethical considerations and embodied experiences associated with these technologies across different cultural contexts. Through this research, I have generated insights into how AI and robotic technologies in care are influenced by different ethical frameworks and views on the role and value of human care. To conduct the project, between 2022-2024 I carried out 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in the UK and Japan, divided into two 9-month blocks in each country. This involved conducting 100 interviews with technology developers and end-users, as well as spending 40 weeks of participant observation in robotics laboratories.
