Report for the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
Human rights in the robot age
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), consists of 324 democratically elected representatives of the people from the 47 member states of the Council of Europe. They asked the Rathenau Institute to research the socio-legal questions following technologies such as self-driving cars, care robots and virtual reality.
Joost was allowed to co-author this research, and he looks back on it with pride. Although the report dates from 2016, it is still used as reference material.

Co-founded
Vereniging voor AI-Advocaten
Together with lawyer Anton Ekker (Ekker Legal), Joost founded the Association of AI Lawyers in early 2022. In short: the VAI-A. The VAI-A consists of lawyers who want to delve into the legal aspects of AI. For example, as a result of the AI Act.
Twice a year, we organise well-attended meetings with interesting speakers. Meanwhile, the VAI-A has a third board member, Shima Abbady (Bird & Bird), and we have big ambitions for our association.
Oprichting bedrijf
Digibeetle
Together with Jan Willem Hoogstraten, Joost started a company called Digibeetle in May 2023. Digibeetle offers legal professionals an online portal where they can find everything for their practice. Such as case law, regulatory rulings and legislation. Digibeetle’s focus is on digital legislation such as the GDPR, as well as the Data Governance Act and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act).
Follow Digibeetle’s launch on LinkedIn.
Did you know that before building the Digibeetle website, Joost read more than 1,000 documents on privacy law? In doing so, he lives up to the Dutch saying “Joost knows”!
