Postdoctoral position of LawThe Centre for Advanced Studies in Biomedical Innovation Law (CeBIL), Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, is seeking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher for a fully funded two (2)-year and (3) months period. A renewal of the appointment may be possible based on funding and performance. The position is part of the Horizon Europe Framework Program (HORIZON) project called “CLASSICA”.Area of Research The project delivers full clinical validation, including inter-clinic generalisation, biopsy optimisation and guided resection of this welldefined, specific patient cohort and, by doing so, establishes the clinical, legal and ethical precedent for AI support in surgical operations more broadly including use case considerations for both locked and unlocked systems based on surgical video acquisition, aggregation and analysis. The postdoctoral candidate will be part of the legal, regulatory and liability research team, under the supervision of Prof. Timo Minssen and Assoc. Prof. Marcelo Corrales Compagnuci, to explore questions raised by AI-assisted surgery, (including video databanks), thereby addressing concerns surgeons may have to use such systems. The candidate will also collaborate with Sara Gerke and her research team from Penn State Dickinson Law. The tasks will include the analysis of regulatory questions, in particular privacy and data protection concerning the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – 2016/679), as well as other regulatory frameworks including, the EU Clinical Trials Regulation (536/2014), and the EU Medical Device Regulations (2017/745 and 2017/746). Specific attention should be given to the question of how to deal with the regulatory approval of “locked” vis-à-vis “unlocked” algorithms and AI systems, data protection and security issues as well as the scope of informed consent and its withdrawal, information of data subjects, data sharing/control, transparency, explainability, international data transfers among others. The tasks will also include looking at new legal developments in the field, such as the Commission’s recent proposal for a regulatory framework on AI. This task will focus on the ethical concern of bias and will explore how to mitigate such risks in AI-assisted surgery. In particular, AI-driven technologies in surgery should be developed using an ‘ethics by design’ approach. We will analyze ethical guidelines, such as the WHO guidance on Ethics & Governance of Artificial Intelligence for Health and the Ethics guidelines for trustworthy AI developed by the High-Level Expert Group set up by the European Commission.
