Saba Sotoudehfar

Saba was a visiting scholar at Tubingen University's AI chair, where she had the privilege of delving into the realm of artificial intelligence and its intersection with legal challenges. This unique environment had provided her with valuable insights and interactions that she believes will greatly enhance her research. Her primary objective during her stay in Tübingen was to advance the understanding of how AI impacts the regulation of autonomous weapons systems, with a special emphasis on improving peace and safeguarding civilian lives. Saba was honored to be part of a chair dedicated to AI, and she looked forward to engaging with the AI community at Tubingen University during her stay. It was for her a unique opportunity to collaborate, learn, and contribute to the evolving landscape of AI research.

In Sabas broader research, which she has been pursuing as a Ph.D. candidate and FCT research fellow at the University of Nova de Lisboa, she focuses on the critical task of bridging the gap between AI and the legal challenges it presents. Specifically, her research revolves around the ethical and legal aspects of regulating autonomous weapons systems in the context of the Artificial Intelligence Age. She believes that the responsible use of AI in the field of defense is paramount to ensure the safety and protection of civilians during times of conflict.
