Programme on the Governance of Emerging Technologies
This OII research programme investigates legal, ethical, and social aspects of AI, machine learning, and other emerging information technologies.
Dr Daria Onitiu researches and publishes on the legal, ethical and governance aspects surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, generative AI and deepfakes. She has a particular interest in the governance of AI/ML software as a medical device, ethics of AI in medical settings, as well as the safety and security challenges of general-purpose systems, and generative AI. Other, complementary research include the opportunities and constraints of EU data protection law, platform regulation and international human rights law to address issues of power surrounding complex technological systems and tech industry business models.
Previously she worked at the Trustworthiness Auditing for AI project at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, as well as the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Governance and Regulation Node and SCRIPT Center at the University of Edinburgh.
