Research interests span the societal implications of Artificial Intelligence—particularly automated vehicle responsibility—and the evolution of plea bargaining in Nordic criminal justice. His scholarship bridges business cartel criminalization in Europe with contemporary challenges in AI governance, emphasizing how legal systems adapt to technological disruption and economic transformations. Günsberg's methodology combines doctrinal legal analysis with socio-legal perspectives on negotiated justice.

Publication trends from 2016-2024 reveal a strategic pivot from competition law (2016) toward AI ethics (2019-2022) and Nordic criminal procedure reforms (2024), reflecting growing scholarly attention to technology's impact on legal accountability. This trajectory demonstrates increasing engagement with interdisciplinary questions at the law-technology-society nexus.

Funded through competitive research grants, Günsberg contributes to major collaborative projects including EU competition law analyses and Nordic criminal justice handbooks, though specific grant details remain undisclosed in available materials.
