Bio
Andrew Mazibrada is a senior research associate with CIGI’s Global AI Risks Initiative. He is an international lawyer, specializing in treaty interpretation, human rights, and the intersection between international law and science and technology, particularly frontier AI systems. He is working to develop legal frameworks in international law to meet the global challenges presented by AI.
His research interests focus on reconciling the benefits, risks and disruptive potential of emerging technologies and scientific knowledge in international law, especially international human rights law. His particular focus is AI, but he is also interested in biotechnologies and climate geoengineering technologies. In particular, where science and technology intersect with human rights, public international law, global administrative law, and global governance structures and methodologies, he is interested in the impacts and responses to transformative frontier AI. This translates currently into projects concerning the risks of frontier or advanced AI systems — generative AI, AI agents and AGI — and how anticipating those risks exposes the limits of international human rights law; and how AI agents contribute to dynamic information environments, including where they interpret and apply legal norms and principles (particularly international human rights law norms).
Connected to these research interests, he is also interested in the role disinformation has, and will continue to have, in undermining truth and knowledge, and how international law can act to ameliorate the effect of disinformation and computational propaganda.
Andrew holds a Ph.D. in international human rights law from the University of Copenhagen.
