About

I am Assistant Professor of Law and AI at the University of Cambridge and a Research Associate at Harvard University. I am also the founding director of the Institute for Law & AI (LawAI). Previously, I was Assistant Professor of Law at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM).

My current research focuses on the law and governance of advanced artificial intelligence. Previously, I worked on judicial decision-making, the philosophy of criminal law, and legal mechanisms to protect future generations. I often combine methods from law, philosophy and psychology.
