Her research explores how normative judgements about AI risk are constructed within the emerging AI risk governance regime and negotiated across transnational regulatory networks. She looks at the rising global priority of AI safety and the way in which risk framings redistribute regulatory authority and reshape the legitimacy of global AI governance institutions.
Prior to commencing her DPhil studies, Luise was a researcher at the Programme for Comparative Media Law & Policy at the University of Oxford, where she examined the international politics of AI policymaking, with a particular focus on the impact of EU digital policies on African AI governance. She also worked as a research assistant to Professor Jeremias Adams-Prassl, conducting research on the ban on automated decision-making under Article 22 of the GDPR and the preservation of human agency in the age of AI. Luise’s broader interests include the tensions between technical and socio-political understandings of AI risk and the challenges of inclusive governance in global digital policy spaces.
Luise holds a law degree specialising in EU, international and human rights law, as well as a master’s degree in Development Studies and Social Anthropology, with a focus on political anthropology. Her interdisciplinary background informs her current work at the intersection of law, anthropology, and digital governance. She is particularly keen to explore how risk-based regulation frames and potentially constrains demands for structural justice in the governance of emerging technologies.
