She also leads the FVTV project at the Digital Justice Center, University of Wrocław (Poland), examining the risks and benefits of user-generated evidence.
Kaja holds a Master’s degree in law from Jagiellonian University, where she also completed international exchanges at the University of Montpellier 1 and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in Vienna. She earned a Master II in French and International Business Law from the University of Orléans, followed by a Master II in International Private and Business Law from Panthéon-Assas University in Paris. In 2013, she was awarded a Master of Arts in European Interdisciplinary Studies from the College of Europe, Natolin Campus, on a full scholarship from the European Commission.
Her doctoral research at Jagiellonian University focused on the legality of lethal autonomous weapon systems, supported by grants from the Polish National Science Centre. She defended her dissertation in 2018, receiving the first prize in the Prof. Remigiusz Bierzanek competition and the “Excellent Science” scholarship. She was a visiting fellow at the University of Melbourne and contributed to NATO-ACT’s MCDC program on autonomous systems.
Kaja is a member of the Commission for the Promotion of International Humanitarian Law at the Polish Red Cross, the Ministry of Digital Affairs’ AI Working Group (GRAI), and national groups of AIDP and ILA.
Her dream job—aside from research—is to be paid for listening to music she enjoys.
