Biography
Frédéric Pinard is a Master’s student in philosophy at the Université de Montréal under the supervision of Prof. Jonathan Simon. He is also a laywer specialising in cyberjustice, technology, and artificial intelligence, and his practice focuses on the rise of new technologies in the digitisation of judicial processes and access to justice. Frédéric also holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA). His academic interests include artificial intelligence (studied from a philosophical and legal perspective), ethics, governance, and international (global) law. He works with various professors of philosophy and law as a research assistant and is currently exploring issues related to the metaphysics of the person and the potential attribution of rights to advanced robotic agents, questioning their capacity to act and their legal status (both as objects and subjects of law).
