Advising technology companies on AI compliance, algorithmic accountability, and digital forensics — backed by 22 years of forensic investigation and doctoral research on AI algorithm regulation at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Federmann Cybersecurity Research Center.
"The most dangerous AI systems are not the ones that fail — they are the ones that work exactly as designed, yet no legal framework exists to hold anyone accountable for their outcomes."— Dr. Gadi Perl, Adv., from his doctoral research on AI liability frameworks
A Rights-Based Compliance Framework — Focus Paper, April 2026
Covers extraterritorial scope, risk classification, lifecycle compliance, algorithmic transparency layers, GPAI model obligations, intersection with GDPR & Israeli privacy law, penalty structure, and a concrete compliance roadmap for Israeli tech companies.
Whether you need an expert witness, a forensic investigator, or guidance on AI regulation — I bring both deep technical knowledge and legal scholarship to every engagement.
I provide expert testimony on digital forensics, evidence authentication, and AI system behavior. With experience across civil, criminal, and regulatory matters, I can explain complex technical concepts to judges and juries in clear, compelling terms.
I advise organizations on aligning AI systems with emerging regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions. From algorithmic transparency requirements to liability mapping, I help you anticipate and address regulatory exposure before it becomes legal risk.
I consult with international bodies on developing effective AI governance structures. My work bridges academic research and practical implementation, helping regulators create frameworks that are both principled and enforceable.
Currently teaching AI in Law and AI Regulation at the Hebrew University and the College of Management. Open to guest lectures, joint research projects, and academic collaboration on technology regulation topics.
Most AI consultants offer either legal theory or technical auditing. I deliver both — grounded in real-world investigative experience and current doctoral research on the frameworks that are now becoming binding law.
My PhD focuses specifically on how legal systems should regulate AI algorithms — the very questions the EU AI Act now codifies. I don't interpret the regulation secondhand; I study the theoretical foundations it's built on.
As Chief Forensic IT Officer at the Israel Competition Authority, I learned what auditors look for, how evidence is challenged in court, and where compliance programs fail under real scrutiny. I build your compliance to withstand examination, not just pass a checklist.
If your AI output reaches any EU customer, partner, or end-user, you are in scope — regardless of where your company is incorporated. I help Israeli tech companies map their actual exposure, not just their assumed exposure.
Publishing an AI ethics policy does not satisfy the AI Act. The Act requires technically grounded, auditable compliance across the entire system lifecycle — from data governance through post-market monitoring. I help you build the real infrastructure.
Israel's delayed adaptation to GDPR created years of market friction. The same risk applies to the AI Act, but with higher stakes — fines up to 7% of global turnover. I help companies avoid repeating that costly mistake.
As a Research Fellow at the Federmann Cybersecurity Research Center, I work at the intersection of AI security, data governance, and regulatory frameworks — understanding threats and obligations that most advisors address in isolation.
Most experts know either the technology or the law. I have spent my career working at the point where both collide.
I completed my PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under Professor Alon Harel, examining how legal systems can effectively regulate AI-based algorithms. My dissertation focuses on transparency, accountability, and liability distribution in autonomous systems — questions that are rapidly moving from academic theory to courtroom reality.
Before academia, I spent over two decades as a digital forensics practitioner. As Chief Forensic IT Officer at the Israel Competition Authority, I led technical strategies for major antitrust investigations, managed complex dawn raids, and developed forensic capabilities that became institutional standards. This combination of hands-on technical experience and rigorous legal scholarship is what I bring to every engagement.
