Professor Grynbaum joined the Department of Law in September 2024 as a full professor in Private Law and Digital Law. He is also co-director of the Bachelor in Law, in addition to teaching courses in the Master programmes and providing PhD supervision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 3 June 2025, Professor Luc Grynbaum<\/a> gave his inaugural lecture, “Liability for AI under European Law” to colleagues and students at the FDEF. After a welcome from FDEF Dean, Professor Katalin Ligeti and a brief overview of Prof. Grynbaum\u2019s academic and professional background, Prof. Grynbaum presented the current state of play in Europe as regards the legal framework for liability in respect of AI systems. A lively question and answer session ensued between Professor Grynbaum and the audience, attesting to the high level of interest around the topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to know Prof. Grynbaum and his work a little better, we asked him a few questions for this short interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you sum up your educational and professional background?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing a Master\u2019s degree in Private Law at Panth\u00e9on-Assas (Paris II) University, I obtained a Doctoral degree in law \u201cThe contingent contract; Adaptation of the contract by the judge upon authorisation of the legislator\u201d, at the same University with honours in January 1998, awarded the Prix Capitant<\/em> award and a grant from the French Ministry of Research. In the meanwhile, I was hired as Assistant Professor at University Paris XI, Faculty of Law at Sceaux. Then, when I passed the \u201cAgr\u00e9gation de droit priv\u00e9 et science criminelle \u00bb in 1999, I became professor in La Rochelle University, Dean of the Faculty of Law. In 2005 I joined the University Paris Cit\u00e9 and was delegated to Sorbonne Abu Dhabi University, as Professor of Law and Head of Department of Law, Economics and Management from 2020 to 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How would you explain your research to someone that knows absolutely nothing about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research in Digital Law is based upon a Civil Law approach mainly focused on Contract and Tort, which makes it possible to set up bridges between traditional questions and new challenges introduced by these techniques. I have recently published several papers on European AI Act and its effects on liability. I\u2019m currently in charge of the \u201cPr\u00e9cis Dalloz\u201d Digital Law and supervise several PhD theses on the legal approach of AI and digital activities. Moreover, I\u2019m also active in Insurance Law where I supervised a comprehensive book on all the various kinds of Insurances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favourite course to teach and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Civil Law professor, I taught in France and at Sorbonne Abu Dhabi University in French and English. I like to practice a comparative approach to key legal questions on contracts and Insurance. The new challenge is to provide to students in Luxembourg the same approach with domestic law and the ones in neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you hope to contribute to the University community?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the behalf of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, I\u2019m currently member of the redaction committee of a group working on the contract law reform of Luxembourg. I hope to continue this kind of work on several very interesting topics in Civil Law. I\u2019m now head of the Private Law research area and I hope to launch or support more multidisciplinary initiatives among the different specialties of the colleagues at the Faculty and the University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
