About
Eduard Fosch-Villaronga is a pioneering legal and interdisciplinary scholar whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, law, and ethics. His research has significantly advanced our understanding of how emerging technologies — particularly robots and AI systems — should be governed, regulated, and made trustworthy in real-world contexts. Fosch-Villaronga is perhaps best known for his influential explorations of transparency in AI and robotics. His 2019 paper on AI transparency under GDPR has amassed over 400 citations, establishing him as a leading voice on how legal norms and technical realities must be reconciled. Complementing this, his work on robots and transparency examines the multiple dimensions accountability demands of these systems. His scholarship extends into critical practical domains: cybersecurity and care robots, safety standards and human-robot interaction, and the social integration of robotic technologies among older adults. He has also tackled emerging challenges such as overtrust in automation, cloud robotics regulation, and the human role in surgical automation. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 1,100 across his top papers, Fosch-Villaronga has built a body of work that bridges technical standards, public policy, and societal concerns — making him an essential reference point for researchers navigating the ethical and legal frontiers of robotics and AI.
