Dr Michael Veale

Bio:

Dr Michael Veale is Associate Professor in digital rights and regulation, and Vice-Dean (Education Innovation) at the Faculty of Laws, University College London. His research focusses on how to understand and address challenges of power and justice that digital technologies and their users create and exacerbate, in areas such as privacy-enhancing technologies and machine learning. Veale’s work regularly intersects with issues of constitutionalism and democracy, considering issues such as technology in elections, the use of data rights and freedom of information law in state accountability research, technology and sovereignty, government management and design of algorithmic systems, as well as an analysis of emerging legal regimes governing (or failing to govern) increasingly state-like private sector technology firms.
