About me

His research focuses on the ethical, socio-economic, and political implications of emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. With a multidisciplinary background spanning international relations, economics, tech and labor law, and computer science, Zak employs mixed methods and diverse theoretical lenses in his research. He has enriched his academic perspective through internships with the US House of Representatives, the OSCE, and the United Nations.
