About

Bartosz Brożek is a leading figure at the intersection of law, philosophy, and cognitive science, exploring how the human mind shapes legal reasoning and responsibility. His key research areas include legal epistemology, the philosophy of artificial intelligence, and the neural foundations of normativity. Brożek’s most influential work, “On the legal responsibility of autonomous machines” (2017, 60 citations), tackles the pressing question of whether AI can be held legally accountable. He argues that autonomous machines cannot be considered true legal agents, as they lack the folk-psychological attributes—such as intentionality and consciousness—necessary for moral and legal responsibility. This contribution has become a cornerstone in debates on AI ethics and liability. Beyond this, Brożek has written extensively on the role of intuition in legal decision-making and the evolutionary origins of legal norms. A professor at Jagiellonian University and a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, he bridges analytic philosophy with cutting-edge neuroscience, making his work essential for anyone studying the future of law in an age of intelligent machines.
