About

Gerhard Wagner is a legal scholar whose work has carved out a distinctive niche at the intersection of emerging technology and civil liability. His research focuses primarily on the legal frameworks governing autonomous systems, with a particular emphasis on how traditional tort law must adapt to address the challenges posed by increasingly sophisticated robotic technologies. Wagner's most recognized contributions center on the concept of "Robot Liability," a subject he has explored across multiple publications, most notably in 2018 and 2019, works that have collectively garnered over 30 citations and helped establish him as a prominent voice in this rapidly evolving field. Through these contributions, Wagner has engaged with fundamental questions about responsibility, accountability, and compensation when autonomous machines cause harm — issues that have grown ever more pressing as artificial intelligence and robotics become integrated into everyday life. His scholarship bridges doctrinal legal analysis with forward-looking policy considerations, making his work valuable not only to legal academics but also to policymakers and technologists grappling with the regulatory frontiers of the digital age.
