Are you interested in the functioning of law in relation to big tech? Do you want to research how law and enforcement of digital rules can take engage systemic actors in the digital economy? And would you like to become part of a European network of researchers studying how regulation can learn to govern transformative technologies such as AI, digital platforms, quantum computing and neurotechnology. Then the Phd project ‘Systemic Actors and the Enforcement of Digital Rules’ may be right for you. 

What is the role of researchers in the governance of AI systems and digital platforms? What legal exceptions and safeguards do researchers need to be able to play that role? And how can we organise productive interactions between researcher, policy makers, regulators, civil society and companies? Research and expertise have critical role in making sure that AI and digital technologies are safe, respectful of fundamental rights and beneficial to society, but we have yet to develop the legal and organisational frameworks to enable their work, while protecting their safety and academic freedom. If you want to help doing so, this position might be for you. 

In this project, with inspiration from physical phenomena, you will carry out a systematic qualitative study of such objectives as phase transitions.You will be embedded in the Discrete Mathematics and Quantum Information (DMQI) group at the Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics (KdVI) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), under the supervision of Ross Kang, with co-supervision by Carla Groenland (TU Delft), the co-PI on this project. In addition to the PI and co-PI, the project team includes a postdoc at TU Delft.
