Artificial Intelligence Ethics

With Kate Darling

Meet Kate Darling

Dr. Kate Darling is a leading expert in Robot Ethics. She’s a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab, where she investigates social robotics and conducts experimental studies on human-robot interaction. Kate explores the emotional connection between people and life-like machines, seeking to influence technology design and policy direction. Her writing and research anticipate difficult questions that lawmakers, engineers, and the wider public will need to address as human-robot relationships evolve in the coming decades. Her passion for technology and robots has led her to interdisciplinary fields. After co-teaching a robot ethics course at Harvard Law School with Professor Lawrence Lessig, she began to work at the intersection of law and robotics, with a focus on legal and social issues. 

Mentorship Opportunities

School Talks

Bring to life a topic with a lecture or classroom discussion lead by experts working in the field. In-person or virtually, this is a great way to engage several grades all at once who are looking for a deeper dive on a general subject.

Group Sessions

Share a group mentoring session to learn alongside others who share your interests. Ideal for small groups such as birthday parties, school classes, clubs, or just a group of friends who want to explore a topic together.

Events

Join our Mentors on their excursions into the field for special live adventures where you get to experience the action alongside them. Field Trips can take place in-person when possible or virtually via live streams.
