Research by Berridge and Turner is Featured in an Article by Nature

Posted: 5/10/2024 (CSDE Research)

An article in Nature, titled “Are robots the solution to the crisis in older-person care?“, recently cited two research articles by CSDE Affiliate Clara Berridge (Social Work). One of these articles was first-authored by CSDE Trainee Natalie Turner (Social Work). AI robots are increasingly employed in eldercare to provide social therapy for individuals with dementia. However, the evidence of their worth is not well developed and there are ethical concerns, including deception with speaking robots and the potential to reduce opportunities for human interactions. Berridge was interviewed for the article, where she discussed her research on older people’s perspectives regarding these robots (she is misidentified as an ethicist).
