Ignacio Cofone is Professor of Law and Regulation of AI, working at the Faculty of Law and the Institute for Ethics in AI. Before joining Reuben, he was the Canada Research Chair in AI Law and Data Governance at McGill University.
His research examines how the law should adapt to AI-driven social and economic changes. In his recent book, “The Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy” (Cambridge University Press, 2023), he examines how AI requires restructuring privacy and data protection law. His current research project focuses on how to prevent and redress nonmaterial AI harms and on fostering human-centred AI innovation.
Ignacio has advised governments, courts, and other organizations on how to adjust law and regulation in view of AI. He welcomes applications for doctoral and postdoctoral supervision, particularly from scholars with interdisciplinary backgrounds interested in AI regulation.
