Laurens Naudts

Laurens Naudts is a postdoctoral researcher at the AI, Media and Democracy Lab and Insitute for Information Law. In his research, Laurens explores the political philosophy, ethics and regulation of artificial intelligence and automation. His doctoral research focused on the concepts of equality and non-discrimination and their interpretative function in identifying and articulating the conditions under which automated decision-making technologies give rise to (structural) injustice. He is eager to critically and socially engage with fellow researchers, civil society, regulators, media, and journalism partners to reflect on novel technologies’ transformative impact on media, democracy, and fundamental rights. In his current work, Laurens investigates the structural, social and relational dynamics that constitute a digitally mediated society, including positions of power and privilege and acts and structures of oppression and domination.
