Bio
Claudia Silva Battagin is a Doctoral Candidate in Law at Trinity College Dublin and a member of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network HARNESS – Harnessing AI and Data-Intensive Technologies. Her research, supervised by Professor Maria Grazia Porcedda and Professor Dave Lewis, investigates how the European Union's regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and data-intensive technologies balances technological innovation with the protection of fundamental rights, mapping legal tools for trustworthiness, risk management, liability, and compliance.
She holds LL.M degrees from Trinity College Dublin (International and Comparative Law) and the University of São Paulo (Private Law), and an LL.B from Mackenzie University. Her LL.M dissertation at Trinity examined non-contractual civil liability for harm caused by AI systems, from a comparative European and Brazilian perspective. Prior to her doctoral studies, Claudia worked for over a decade in dispute resolution at top-tier Brazilian law firms, most recently as a Senior Associate at Demarest Advogados in São Paulo. Her research interests encompass AI regulation, law and technology, civil liability, and comparative private law.
