Overview

Giovanni Sartor is affiliated with the University of Bologna in Italy and has contributed extensively to the intersection of computer science, social sciences, and business management. Their research primarily spans the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Law, with a focus on topics such as multi-agent systems and negotiation, logic and reasoning, and the ethics and social impacts of AI.

Their work addresses complex issues within artificial intelligence in legal contexts and includes substantial contributions to areas like semantic web and ontologies, law and economics, and judicial systems. Sartor's publications explore legal language and interpretation, emphasizing both theoretical frameworks and practical applications.

Prominent recent papers authored by Sartor include:

  • Artificial intelligence and human rights: Between law and ethics (2020), published in Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law

Frequent collaborators in Sartor's research community include Francesca Lagioia, Roberta Calegari, Andrea Loreggia, Douglas Walton, and Fabrizio Macagno. These co-authors have worked jointly on multiple projects, reflecting ongoing partnerships within legal and AI research domains.

Publication venues where Sartor's work appears regularly include:

  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • Artificial Intelligence and Law
  • Journal of Logic and Computation
  • Cadmus - EUI Research Repository (European University Institute)
  • SSRN Electronic Journal

Sartor's contributions to book publications have been released by a variety of publishers, including:

  • Istituto di Ematologia di Bologna, with titles such as "Study: The impact of the General Data Protection Regulation on artificial intelligence" (2020) and various studies on digital services and consumer protection
  • Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications, publishing "Legal Knowledge and Information Systems" (2024)
  • Cambridge University Press, publishing "Statutory Interpretation" (2020)
  • Springer Science+Business Media, with "AI Approaches to the Complexity of Legal Systems XI-XII" (2021)
