Robot Communication Systems Final Report; Perpetuating Workplace Bias Through Artificial Intelligence
Year: 2025
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Central to both my technical project and STS research paper is autonomous technology and how it is employed to help humans accomplish a goal or task. Humans are increasingly relying upon technology for a wider array of tasks and providing less supervision of its use. The quality of our technology’s performance therefore determines whether humanity will be able to achieve its goals. My technical project explores utilizing autonomous mobile robots to aid first responders in search and rescue efforts, while my STS research paper examines the design of artificial intelligence (AI) hiring algorithms and how it perpetuates common biases. Although my technical project and STS research paper focus on two different types of technology, my STS research allows me to better understand the technical network created by my team by identifying the importance of non-technical actors and the challenges associated with autonomous technology.
