How are policymakers attempting to regulate AI? What changes can we expect for organizations, educators, and students? What are the barriers to successful regulation, and what problems remain unresolved?

Antonio is Assistant Professor of Law, a member of the Lawtomation Jean Monnet Centre, and an expert in technology and the future of work. Ted is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and holder of the UNESCO Chair in AI Ethics and Governance. His research addresses the moral responsibilities of technology firms and the democratic implications of artificial intelligence.

After brief presentations, the speakers will debate one another and engage in open discussion with the audience.
Speakers
Theodore Lechterman
Theodore Lechterman is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at IE University. His research addresses questions in applied ethics through the lens of political philosophy. Much of his work investigates how democratic values apply when public power is exercised by private and artificial agents (such as corporations, philanthropists, and autonomous systems). His first book, The Tyranny of Generosity: Why Philanthropy Corrupts Our Politics and How We Can Fix It, was published by Oxford University Press in 2021. Lechterman was educated at Harvard and Princeton and completed postdoctoral fellowships at Stanford, the Hertie School, Goethe University, and Oxford. He frequently contributes to public debates and advises business leaders on responsible innovation and social impact.
Antonio Aloisi
Antonio Aloisi, an Assistant Professor of European and Comparative Labour Law at IE University, focuses on how innovation affects labor regulation and social institutions. Awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship in 2020 for his Boss Ex Machina project, he examines automated decision-making's practices and the adequacy of legal frameworks in the EU. He has a rich academic background, including a PhD from Bocconi University and fellowships at EUI and Saint Louis University. Aloisi co-authored "Your Boss is an Algorithm" and is involved in research on the sociolegal implications of algorithmic management and non-standard employment, contributing significantly to policy, case law, and media discussions.
