Dr. Gill-Pedro's research centers on the role of companies in AI governance, particularly examining how artificial persons (corporations) influence the development of AI entities and how these interactions affect legal order and human control. His work bridges EU law, technology governance, and human rights, with special attention to constitutional identity and democratic practice in the digital age. He has made significant contributions to understanding corporate rights within European legal frameworks.
His recent publications demonstrate a clear trend toward examining the legal implications of AI systems, particularly focusing on corporate responsibility, democratic practice, and human rights in technological contexts. Gill-Pedro's work increasingly addresses real-world applications of AI governance, as evidenced by his 2025 reference statement on police use of AI for facial recognition.
