Significance

Co-author of the legal-risk cluster's anchor paper. The 2023 article argues for reframing Art. 22 GDPR as a procedural right anchored in GDPR's accountability principle — a substantive contribution to the doctrinal debate about why mandatory human intervention has historically been unenforceable and how the AI Act provides a new operational route via DPIAs.
