Dr Tomás McInerney

School of Law

My work focuses on the interdisciplinary field of law and technology, with a particular interest in artificial intelligence, large language models, and automated decision-making systems. My publications centre on the capabilities and limitations of AI systems in judicial decision-making contexts, on the emerging AI regulatory landscape, and on the epistemic risks posed by advances in AI. In general, my research interests traverse public and administrative law, jurisprudence, and the relationship between these subjects and automated systems
