About

Annagiulia Morachioli is a pioneering legal scholar whose work sits at the critical intersection of emerging technology, tort law, and insurance. Her research primarily explores the liability and risk management frameworks necessary for the responsible integration of autonomous systems into society. Morachioli’s most influential contribution is her seminal 2016 paper, “On Robots and Insurance,” which has garnered 41 citations and established her as a foundational voice in the field of “robot law.” In this work, she systematically dissects the complex questions surrounding insurance for robotic agents: who—the producer, owner, or user—should bear the burden of risk, how robot-related perils differ from traditional product liabilities, and who ultimately pays the premium. By providing the first rigorous legal analysis of insuring non-human actors, Morachioli has shaped subsequent policy debates on autonomous vehicle liability and AI accountability. Her work is essential reading for anyone grappling with the legal challenges of our automated future, offering a clear-eyed framework for distributing risk in a world where machines increasingly act on their own.
