Heather is a lawyer and scholar of nationality, citizenship and statelessness. She began her career as an asylum lawyer with the UN Refugee Agency and spent fifteen years working on statelessness around the world. Her book on the nationality rights and legal identity of nomadic peoples was published by Oxford last year.
Heather brings that background to the emerging debate over the legal status of the AI systems and has co-founded the Lab for the Future of Citizenship with philosopher of mind Jonathan Simon, which treats citizenship and the rule of law as foundations of AI safety. She also writes a popular blog, “Future of Citizenship” where she discusses these questions in a more informal and accessible context.
Her recent research includes a report on US state bills that ban AI personhood, and papers on legal identity for future AI systems and the legal status of nonhuman speech.
