Laurens Naudts

Former Research Fellow

Laurens Naudts is a Doctoral Researcher at the KU Leuven Centre for IT & IP Law. His research focuses on the interrelationship between artificial intelligence, ethics, justice, fairness and the law. In his doctoral research, Laurens reconsiders, and evaluates, the notions of equality (as a principle of justice) and data protection, and their potential for governing algorithmic differentiation and  algorithmically guided decision-making.

Laurens is an affiliated member of the KU Leuven Working Group on Philosophy of Technology. As a researcher, he has also been actively involved in several national and EU funded (FP7 and H2020) research projects.
