More information about the individual presentations

Anna Beckers is a professor of private law and social theory at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Her research focuses on the institutions of private law—contracts, property, liability, corporations, and competition—and their relationship to societal changes, particularly digitalization, corporate sustainability, and the protection of human rights, as well as changes in the structure of global trade. On this latter topic, Anna Beckers is currently leading a project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) on the possibilities and conditions for a responsive legal framework for global value chains (CHAINLAW, ERC StG 2023–2028). In addition, her work focuses on the liability implications of the use of artificial intelligence. Anna Beckers has published extensively on this topic, including the co-authored monograph *Algorithmic Actants, Hybrids, Swarms: Three Liability Regimes for Artificial Intelligence*,published by Suhrkamp in 2024.
