About
Filipe Maia Alexandre is a legal scholar whose work bridges the frontiers of technology and law, with a primary focus on the legal status of artificially intelligent entities. His most-cited paper, "The Legal Status of Artificially Intelligent Robots: Personhood, Taxation and Control" (2017), has garnered 20 citations and stands as a foundational contribution to the debate on AI personhood. In this work, Alexandre critically examines whether autonomous robots should be granted legal personhood, and explores the implications for taxation, liability, and societal control—questions that are increasingly urgent as AI systems gain autonomy. His research challenges traditional legal frameworks, arguing that the current system is ill-equipped to handle the unique attributes of intelligent machines. By synthesizing concepts from jurisprudence, ethics, and technology policy, Alexandre provides a roadmap for rethinking legal accountability in an age of artificial agents. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of law, robotics, and governance, offering both theoretical depth and practical policy insights. Through this paper, Alexandre has positioned himself as a key voice in shaping how societies might regulate and integrate advanced AI.
