Dr. Peter R. Slowinski, J.S.M. (Stanford)
About
Peter R. Slowinski deals with the question of the legal protection of the results of human creativity, in particular through copyright and patent law, against the background of the increasing use of artificial intelligence in such processes.
He studied law in Passau, Cardiff, Munich and Stanford (USA), specialising in intellectual property law and dispute resolution. His doctorate at the LMU Munich was on the subject of ‘Dysfunctional effects of patent enforcement - a systemic-functional holistic view’. He worked as a lawyer in a US law firm and was a research fellow at the MPI for Innovation and Competition in Munich for more than eight years. He is currently leading a grant funded project on the legal protection of synthetic data in artificial intelligence training at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (Poland).
He has been active for more than ten years as an examiner in the scholarship selection procedures of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. He is a trained first aider and mental health first aider.
