About

Orian Dheu is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and the law, with a research focus that bridges human-robot interaction and tort liability. His most influential work, “Overtrusting robots: Setting a research agenda to mitigate overtrust in automation” (2021, 74 citations), critically examines the psychological and societal risks of misplaced trust in autonomous systems, establishing a foundational framework for designing safer human-AI interactions. This agenda-setting paper has become essential reading for researchers in human-robot trust and AI ethics. Dheu further extends his impact into legal scholarship with “Artificial Intelligence and Tort Law: A ‘Multi-faceted’ Reality” (2023, 4 citations), where he dissects the complex liability challenges posed by AI systems, from extra-contractual damages to product liability. By mapping the legal gaps in current frameworks, he provides crucial guidance for policymakers and legal scholars navigating the accountability of autonomous technologies. Dheu’s work is notable for its interdisciplinary rigor, combining empirical insights on human behavior with doctrinal legal analysis. His research not only informs the design of trustworthy automation but also shapes the evolving legal landscape, making him a vital contributor to responsible AI development and governance.
