Dr. Harshvardhan J. Pandit is a Research Fellow at the AI Accountability Lab (AIAL) in Trinity College Dublin. Their research explores ecologies of power technology based on intersection of technology (knowledge modeling, AI), law (GDPR, AI Act, consumer protection), and fundamental rights (privacy, data protection, consumer protection). Dr. Pandit’s PhD (Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin) explored the application of linked data and semantic web technologies towards GDPR compliance, with a particular focus on consent and provenance. Their postdoctoral fellowship investigated how technical approaches can support impact assessments regarding fundamental rights.
Dr. Pandit is a member of National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) and works on standardisation within the CEN/CENELEC (EU) and ISO subgroups on privacy and AI, including as the editor of the ISO/IEC standard on consent and PII processing records. Dr. Pandit also chairs the W3C Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls Community Group (DPVCG) – which develops Data Privacy Vocabularies (DPV) for legal and practical applications, and is a nominated technical expert by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). Dr. Pandit is also a Principle Investigator in the RECIALS Horizon project and the HARNESS Doctoral Network.
