Research interests
Mauricio's doctoral thesis explores "Ghostbots", digital innovations that allow people to interact with the dead through Artificial Intelligence (AI). Under the supervision of Prof. Lilian Edwards, he studies how the existing legal categories of privacy, personhood and property fail or succeed to regulate this emerging and complex phenomenon. He also attempts to place this legal analysis within the wider intersection of Ethics, Technology and Society.
