Vita
Oskar von Cossel studied law at the Freie Universität Berlin. He sat for his first state law exam in January 2021. During his time as a university student he was a research assistant at an international law firm. Since 2021 he has been employed at a legal tech firm where he develops judge-assistance and decision-automation products based on generative AI and Rulemaps.
In 2023 he earned an LL.M. in the program “Law of Internet Technology” at Universitá Bocconi in Milan, and he has been a co-editor of the German-Georgian journal of comparative law since 2023.
His research focuses on the question of whether and the extent to which approaches towards the formalization of law can be coupled with generative AI in order to allow for automated decision-making in complex legal problems – effectively the Utopia of a “subsumption automaton”. In addition, he is exploring the topics of explainable AI and the history of legal informatics.
Oskar von Cossel has been a research assistant at the Institute since 2025.
