My scholarship lies at the intersection of law, philosophy and technology, and seeks to consolidate the emerging field of the law and ethics of AI. Drawing on my experience in both private practice and public policy, I particularly focus on three strands of research, which I often interweave in my writing:

​

• The first pertains to the use of AI and digital technology in the public sector, with a particular focus on liberal democracies. I examine how public authorities in all branches of power rely on AI to regulate individuals and society, how this reliance can promote or undermine the basic principles and ideals of liberal democracies (including human rights, democracy and the rule of law), how this use is regulated, and whether new regulatory mechanisms are needed to better protect individuals and societies against its risks.

​

• The second pertains to international (public) law and European Union law, including comparative perspectives. I examine how national, international and supranational jurisdictions govern the challenges raised by AI and other new technologies, and how these governance mechanisms can conflict with and complement each other. My writing for instance compares and contrasts different modes of regulating AI and digital infrastructure, and examines the emerging (international) law of AI amidst simultaneous calls for stronger digital sovereignty.

​

• The third pertains to moral and legal philosophy, and analyses philosophical conundrums posed by technology at different levels of generality. At a general level, I investigate what it means to be human in an AI-driven world, how AI can alter the very nature of our laws and our legal systems, and how it can affect our social relationships, our faculty of judgment, and our capacity to engage in moral and democratic decision-making. At a more particular level, I examine several technological applications and their effects on individuals and society, from social media apps to companion chatbots.
