About PRoSPEro

The use and potential use of artificial intelligence, decision support systems and social robotics is increasing across Europe. While the technological challenges are substantial, there is progress in key areas: prototypes and marketable products have been developed; and debates have commenced on the ethical, economic, philosophical and social challenges. While these technologies will be used by, or alongside, a range of social professionals, there has been little thought of how this might impact on their everyday work, career development and professional identity.

Minimal consideration has been given to how these challenges can be incorporated into the education and training of such professionals, including curriculum content; pedagogy and standards.

Through exploration, research and transnational collaboration, it is the purpose of the PRoSPEro-project, to create meaningful resources to be used in the creation of new standards and pedagogies when educating for a future with social robotics in care settings.
