Łukasz Szoszkiewicz works at the intersection of technology policy and human rights advocacy. As Director of European Affairs for The Neurorights Foundation, he works to ensure that emerging technologies are developed within robust human rights frameworks. His interdisciplinary approach combines legal expertise with data science methodologies, including natural language processing, statistical analysis, and corpus linguistics. He recently completed a Fulbright fellowship at Columbia University’s Neurotechnology Center, where he conducted research on mental privacy and neural speech decoding – work that informs contemporary policy discussions around brain-computer interfaces. In his academic life, he focuses on harnessing AI for human rights research, monitoring, and protection. Together with his team, he is developing a database of documents adopted by the UN treaty bodies and special procedures. In 2022, he co-founded SICSS-AMU/Law, the Summer Institute in Computational Social Sciences, which trains the next generation of young researchers at the intersection of social science and AI. His work addresses a critical challenge in our field – the gap between academic research, technology, and policy. Technologies like AI and neurotechnology are advancing rapidly, requiring human rights experts who can move effectively between scholarship andadvocacy. This fellowship represents an opportunity to further strengthen that vital connection.

The Fellow Talk will be chaired by Meret Plucis and Cristina Blasi Casagran will be the discussant.
