(Eng, Alexander), (Yam, Kai Chi)
The Editor’s Choice distinction recognizes papers for their potential to make a significant impact on the field or advance an important future direction for science. Only one paper per issue is selected, placing Alexander’s work among roughly the top 6% of published papers in the journal.
His research explores how people respond when artificial intelligence and machines cause harm, including whether punishing machines can restore the same sense of justice as punishing human wrongdoers. The findings offer important perspectives on accountability and justice as AI takes on an increasingly significant role in society.
This recognition reflects the impactful research our faculty is advancing and ASB’s commitment to research that addresses important questions shaping our future.
