I am Professor of Law and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tübingen, where I hold the CZS Endowed Chair, and am one of the directors of the CZS Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Law. My work concerns how the law responds to, and is shaped by, technological change. At present it centres on the regulation of artificial intelligence and on how large language models affect legal reasoning, practice and research.
Before joining Tübingen, I held positions at the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics, and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition. I have been a visiting professor at Dōshisha University in Kyoto and at LUISS Guido Carli in Rome, and a visiting fellow at University College London.
Alongside my research, I advise public institutions on questions of digital regulation. I currently serve on the UN Working Group on Data Governance, and I have previously been a member of the Council of Europe's Committee on Artificial Intelligence and the European Commission's Blockchain Observatory and Forum.
My research lies at the intersection of law and emerging technology, with a particular focus on European Union law. Current and recent work addresses, among other questions:
