Research Exemptions and Feedback Loops in AI Governance
Short description
Independent research can reveal how AI systems affect society, but researchers need meaningful access to systems and data. This project examines whether research exemptions and access rights provide the evidence regulators need while protecting academic freedom and other legal safeguards.
Through interviews and case studies, the researcher will investigate how these rights work in practice. They will co-design tools such as secure data rooms, tiered access arrangements and channels that connect research findings to proportionate regulatory responses.
