Ozlem Ulgen

I joined the School of Law at the University of Nottingham in September 2021 as Associate Professor in Law. I specialise in the law, ethics, and regulation of AI and robotics relating to the military and civilian sectors. My work focuses on protecting human agency, rights, and attribution of legal responsibility. In April 2023 I submitted written evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence in Weapon Systems. I am an EPSRC SPRITE+ Expert Fellow and Principal Investigator for the 2023 Royal Society APEX Award (APX\R1\231097) project “Responsibility for human-AI split-second decision-making (ROUTE)”. I am involved in international law-making and standard-setting work for the UN, UNESCO, IEEE, and ECPAIS, and act as Academic Legal Expert to the UN Group of Governmental Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems, Chair of the Accountability Expert Focus Group for IEEE Ethics Certification Programme for Autonomous and Intelligent Systems, and Expert Member of IEEE P7000 and P7007.
