University of Georgia School of Law Professor Thomas E. Kadri was selected as a Visiting Fellow at the Law Department of the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. Kadri’s fellowship will be supported by a Sarah Moss Fellowship and the Rusk Faculty Scholar-in-Residence Program provided by the Dean Rusk International Law Center.

During his time in Florence, Kadri will expand his ongoing research pertaining to the legal and technical regulation of AI-generated “deepfakes” and focus on the European regulatory approaches to this topic. In 2024, Kadri authored his third book, Dilemmas in Digital Abuse, which discusses related topics including harmful technological advancements and the corresponding regulatory responses.
