Valerie Bohn is a PhD student in Philosophy at the University of Göttingen, conducting her research in cooperation with the CHAI-Institute at the University of Hamburg. Her doctoral research focuses on the ethical and social implications of anthropomorphic AI systems and social robots, with a particular interest in the illusion of sentience and the design of responsible human-AI interaction.
