Professor Jeannie Marie Paterson, Professor of Law and co-founding Director of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics (CAIDE).
CAIDE aims to build cross-disciplinary research, teaching, policy and regulatory expertise in AI and digital ethics across the University and its wider community. It was established by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology and Melbourne Law School, with member faculties Arts, Education, and Medicine, and support from the University of Melbourne.
Jeannie’s research and teaching focuses on consumer protection and the regulatory challenges posed by AI. She is interested in the question of how to effectively design regulation for AI safety and liability. Her current research considers how law should respond to the relationship between humans and AI agents, companions and assistants in roles previously performed by humans.
