Postdoctoral Scholar, Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia Sinica

Dr. Chen Yi-Ting currently serves as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Information Law Center of the Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia Sinica, primarily tasked with delivering comparative law insights and analysis for AI policy recommendations. Her academic trajectory is rooted in the conflict of laws and the intersection of law and converging technologies, marked by a doctoral dissertation titled International Law and Artificial General Intelligence, which followed a master's thesis focusing on AI regulation and multinational corporate social responsibility.

Expanding upon these themes, she has contributed scholarly work examining legal frontiers, such as the implications of AGI and strong AI for international law as a legal system, the legal status and duty of vigilance regarding artificial intelligence, legal metamorphoses concerning ambient intelligence, and topics ranging from decentralized agentic anonymity to inter-species communication and inter-species law.

She recently served as an expert consultant for a commissioned research project on France's CNIL AI Development Practical Guidelines conducted for the Personal Data Protection Commission. Prior to this, she once served as a bilingual (English-French) scribe for the diplomatic service exam at the Embassy of India in Paris, France, and tutored for its preparation and revision. Under faculty advisement, she previously conducted a National Science Council research project on labor contract law and contributed an essay on non-competition regulation.
