ABOUT MICHAEL K.

As a legal expert, interdisciplinary researchers, author and digital policy advisor, I critically follow the ongoing digital transformation of our societies and legal systems - and try to support progressive, humanist and human-rights-based forces. My interests are the regulation of emergent technologies (like robotics, artificial intelligence, Edge Computing, quantum computing), E-Government / GovTech, data protection, data law, privacy-preserving technologies, Sustainability & Digital Transformation and Digital Foreign Policy). I approach these topics primarily from the perspective of public law and particularly enjoy working in interdisciplinary projects, for example in the field of legal informatics or in collaboration with social sciences. So far, the highlight of my academic research and writing has been the publication of \"Blackbox Algorithmus - Grundlagen einer Regulierung Künstlicher Intelligenz\"(published by Prof. Dr. Mario Martini in collaboarion with Jan Mysegades and me at Springer in 2019) as well as the presentation of the study \"Zukunft Gesundheitsdaten\"(co-authored with Ramak Molavi for bundesdruckerei and irights.lab) in the Parliamentary Society in Berlin. Aside my long-lasting part-time job as coordinator of the research department \"Transformation of the state in the digital age\" at the German Research Institute for Public Administration, I have worked as a freelance writer, independent expert and legal editor. During the years of the so called „Ampelregierung“, I worked as senior digital policy advisor in the Bundestag (federal parliament of Germany) in Berlin and had the privilege to work on and contribute to legislative acts. My creative side is active with short stories, literature performances, intersectional art projects, philosophy, music and poetry. Currently working on or thinking about: AI-regulation, Smart Robotics, legal challenges of IoT and digital plattforms, doctrinal foundations of data law, eHealth, Privacy by Design, Green IT, surveillance, diversity in Tech, Sustainable AI, GovTech, eID, digital foreign policy, Cybersecurity, Digital Authoritarianism, state theory and digital governance.
