About

Lilia Pankratova is a pioneering legal scholar at the forefront of digital transformation and the regulation of autonomous technologies. Her primary research areas encompass the doctrinal and legal foundations of robotics, the moral and ethical standards governing autonomous systems, and the broader implications of digitalization on legal frameworks. Pankratova’s most notable contribution is her organization and synthesis of the I Far Eastern International Forum, “Robots Claim Their Rights,” which culminated in her landmark monograph, *The Robots Assert Their Rights* (2020). This work, cited 2 times, serves as a foundational text for understanding the emerging legal personhood and rights of autonomous robotic technologies. By bridging technical innovation with legal theory, Pankratova has established herself as a key voice in the discourse on how societies can ethically and legally integrate advanced robotics. Her efforts have sparked critical conversations among policymakers, technologists, and legal experts, positioning her as a vital figure in shaping the future of digital law and robot ethics.
