About

Argyro Karanasiou is a legal scholar specializing at the intersection of artificial intelligence, technology law, and digital governance. Her most influential work centers on the complex legal and regulatory challenges posed by machine intelligence, particularly in the context of automated decision-making (ADM) and deep learning systems. Karanasiou has been a pioneering voice in advocating for a refined legal definition of artificial intelligence, arguing compellingly for the concept of "artificial personhood" as AI systems grow increasingly autonomous and pervasive across digital infrastructure. Her 2017 paper, "Towards a Legal Definition of Machine Intelligence: The Argument for Artificial Personhood in the Age of Deep Learning," has garnered 44 citations, establishing her as a significant contributor to emerging debates around algorithmic accountability and the governance of ubiquitous computing. By interrogating how existing legal frameworks struggle to accommodate the realities of data analytics and machine learning, Karanasiou highlights critical gaps that legislators and policymakers must urgently address. Her scholarship offers both rigorous theoretical grounding and practical implications, making her work essential reading for students, legal practitioners, and technologists navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of AI regulation and digital rights.
