Sara Solarova

Sara is working at the intersection of digital law, behavioural science, and algorithmic auditing, with a focus on children’s online safety, platform accountability, and EU digital regulation. Within the AI-Auditology project, she initiated the child safety research strand, combining legal analysis, neurodevelopmental framing, and empirical audit methodology to examine how recommender systems affect minors. Alongside her research, she conducts legal and ethical risk assessments under the DSA, GDPR, and EU AI Act for institutional clients, and produces compliance guidelines and policy recommendations on the responsible deployment of AI in public sector contexts. She is the first author of two papers accepted at ACM FAccT 2026 and ACM CHI 2026, and has presented her findings to European Commission representatives, Digital Services Coordinators, and the UN Under-Secretary-General for Technology. She is part of the European Digital Humanism Initiative (EUDHIT), an international consortium working to translate digital humanism principles into policy and practice, where she leads the organisation of a symposia series bringing together philosophers, researchers, and industry leaders from across Europe

Before joining KInIT, Sara worked across startups, the private sector, and public policy, including as a Parliamentary Policy Analyst leading legislative initiatives on AI and digitalisation. She holds an M.A. in Cyber Policy from Tel Aviv University and a B.Sc. in Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics from the University of Amsterdam.
