معرفی
Anouk Wouters is a Lecturer at Utrecht University's Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance, specifically affiliated with the Molengraaff Institute for Private Law. She has been teaching and conducting research at the institute since 2018.
Wouters specializes in the intersection of law and technology, with particular focus on legal aspects of algorithms and autonomous systems. Her research examines how traditional legal frameworks apply to emerging technologies, especially in the domains of self-driving cars and algorithmic decision-making processes. She approaches these topics from the perspective of private law, considering liability, regulatory challenges, and ethical implications.
Her notable work includes the 2020 publication 'Legal aspects of decision-making algorithms: An exploratory study' and the related case study on self-driving cars. These works examine the legal challenges posed by increasingly autonomous systems and decision-making algorithms in contemporary society.
