Mauritz is Founder of MusicaJuridica, Director at AIRecht, and General Counsel at Daiki, a Vienna and Palo Alto headquartered unified SaaS platform committed to building a Trustworthy AI future.

Mauritz’ interdisciplinary academic work on regulating AI, machine learning training data, intellectual property, and the suite of quantum technologies has been published by Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, Oxford, Cambridge, UCLA, Max Planck, Springer Nature, Institute of Physics, Foreign Policy, Fortune, Frontiers in Science, and Nature Physics scholarly and peer reviewed journals.

Promoting good governance, Mauritz helps nations across the world to develop Responsible Quantum Technology and Innovation strategies. Over the past years, he provided policy recommendations to the European Commission during the codification of the Artificial Intelligence Act, the Data Governance Act and the Data Act, and delivered copyright expertise to the European Parliament during the EU Copyright Directive legislative process. At the other side of the Atlantic, Mauritz advised US Senators about Regulating Artificial Intelligence, and Regulating Quantum Technology. Mauritz was a Visiting Quantum & Law Scholar at the Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology in 2022, and held IP law, music law and technology law guest lectorship & professorship teaching positions at the US Air Force Academy, Hoover Insitution at Stanford University, the University of Strasbourg (CEIPI), Leiden University, Utrecht University, Maastricht University, Maastricht Music Academy, the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, and Copenhagen University (CeBIL), and provided postdoc legal training to Supreme Court (Chief) Justices, lawyers and legal professionals at Radboud University.
