Antonio’s research explores how technology is transforming workplace dynamics and examines the potential of social institutions to foster a more sustainable future of work. His other interests include the twin (green and digital) transition, workers’ personal data protection and the relationship between innovation and regulation.

As an Associate professor at IE University Law School in Madrid, Antonio teaches European and Comparative Labour Law and guides students through the landscapes of digital regulation. He co-leads the “Lawtomation” Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence. He is also a member of the “LawAhead” Center on the Legal Profession and a fellow at the UNESCO Chair in AI Ethics & Governance. He is currently an Emile Noël fellow at the Jean Monnet Center at New York University (NYU) School of Law.

Antonio earned his PhD in Business and Social Law from Bocconi University, Milan, where he teaches about digital platforms. He was a visiting professor at the Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) Law School, Sao Paulo, a postdoctoral fellow at the European University Institute (EUI), Florence, and a visiting researcher at Saint Louis University. In 2020, he was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship for his project on how algorithms influence decision-making in workplaces.

He co-authored the book “Your Boss Is an Algorithm. Artificial Intelligence, Platform Work and Labour” (Hart Publishing 2022, with Valerio De Stefano), which discusses the effects of artificial intelligence and automated systems to recruit, control and organize workers. He regularly publishes articles in peer-reviewed journals or chapters in collected volumes. His research findings are frequently cited in various jurisdictions’ policy documents, cases and media reports.

Antonio serves as an expert for international organizations and research bodies, such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, the ILO, the OECD, the Eurofound and the Joint Research Center.
