About Me
I am Lucas Cardiell, a researcher focused on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, with a special emphasis on humanoid robots. My work explores how the coexistence of humans and humanoid robots may affect fundamental rights such as privacy, autonomy, dignity, consent, and non-discrimination.
