About

Dirk Lanzerath is a leading figure in research ethics, with a particular focus on the governance of emerging technologies. His work centers on the critical examination of how Research Ethics Committees (RECs) operate, especially in the complex landscape of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Lanzerath’s major contribution lies in mapping the ethical terrain for these technologies, as evidenced by his influential report, "SIENNA D4.3: Survey of REC approaches and codes for Artificial Intelligence & Robotics." This report, which has garnered 7 citations, systematically analyzed how professional organizations and ethics bodies currently provide guidance for AI and robotics, highlighting significant gaps in coverage. His more recent work, "Research Ethics and Research Ethics Committees in Europe" (9 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of the European REC ecosystem, serving as a vital resource for understanding the structural and procedural challenges in ethical oversight. Through these efforts, Lanzerath has become a key voice in advocating for robust, adaptive ethical frameworks that can keep pace with technological innovation, ensuring that research integrity remains paramount in the age of intelligent machines.
