Ethical concerns rise over use of social robots in long-term elder care

This video examines the ethical challenges surrounding social robots like Paro and Lovot in elder care facilities. While these robots help ease loneliness and provide comfort, a Canadian study highlights critical concerns: inequitable access, consent limitations, risk of dehumanization, and cultural exclusion. The message is clear—robots must support, not replace, human caregiving, with ethics and empathy guiding their use in vulnerable settings.
