Liane Huttner

Liane Huttner serves as a Lecturer in Private Law and Criminal Sciences at the Jean Monnet Faculty of Law, University of Paris-Saclay, specializing in legal frameworks governing digital environments with emphasis on human rights and democratic values amid technological change. She actively contributes to national academic discourse through conferences and collaborative research initiatives across French institutions.

Dr. Huttner earned her PhD in Law from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in 2022, defending her dissertation "The Algorithm's Decision: Private Law Study on Human-Machine Relations" under Judith Rochfeld's supervision, establishing her expertise in AI's legal implications.

Her research spans critical digital law domains:

• Media and Information Law
• Digital Law
• Private Law
• Digital Democracy
• Internet Law
• Data Law
• Law and Technology
• Human Rights
• Digital Inequalities
• Digital Governance

She investigates legal adaptation to technological evolution, advocating frameworks prioritizing human autonomy.

Recent publications demonstrate her focus on emerging regulatory challenges: the 2024 monograph "The algorithm's decision" analyzes private law in human-machine interactions, while the 2025 work "New challenges in European consumer law" addresses digital technology, food, health, and environmental regulation. Both works underscore law's role as a critical counter-power protecting human freedom against technological dominance.

Dr. Huttner collaborates extensively through the Institut Droit, Éthique, Patrimoine (IDEP) at Jean Monnet Faculty, engaging with Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne University, Nantes University, and others on interdisciplinary projects examining law, ethics, and technology governance in digital societies.
