Bio

With more and more decisions being made via artificial intelligence, law professor Paul Weitzel is investigating what legal theories might be used to regulate and enforce AI decision-making and asset management. Before joining Nebraska Law faculty in 2022, he worked in Silicon Valley and the Middle East conducting international transactions on six continents. His most notable deal was the initial public offering of the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, the largest initial public offering to date. With his research, Weitzel aims to humanize the corporate experience. He explores legal and governance constraints that drive antisocial corporate behavior, with the goal of revising underlying theories of corporate purpose and corporate personality to empower executives.
