Thomas Le Goff Presents His Research on the Governance of Agent-Based AI Systems in Seoul

On June 23, 2026, Thomas Le Goff, an associate professor of law and digital regulation at Télécom Paris, spoke at Yonsei University (Institute for AI and Social Innovation) in Seoul as part of the seminar “Governing Agentic AI: Regulation and Sustainability in the Age of AI Agents.”

On that occasion, he presented the results of multidisciplinary research conducted at FinAI-Lab as part of the lab’s “Trustworthy AI” research area.

His presentation focused on recent technological developments in agent-based AI systems, highlighting the challenges they pose. The goal was to demonstrate how these highly autonomous systems differ from existing legal categories and to highlight the associated technical risks, particularly with regard to security, human oversight, and explainability.

The seminar also highlighted several major legal issues raised by the development of agent-based AI, including:

• the protection of personal data;
• the allocation of liability in the event of unexpected behavior or system failures;
• the environmental impact of these systems;
• and their regulation under the European Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act).

Télécom Paris and the FinAI-Lab would like to thank Yonsei University and the Institute for AI and Social Innovation for hosting and organizing this seminar, which provided an opportunity to continue international discussions on the challenges of artificial intelligence governance.
