About

Pavel Kuznetcov is a pioneering legal scholar at the intersection of artificial intelligence and jurisprudence. His research focuses on the evolving legal status of non-human entities, particularly the theoretical and practical criteria for recognizing artificial intelligence as a legal person. In his most-cited work, "Criteria for Recognition of AI as a Legal Person" (2019, 22 citations), Kuznetcov systematically analyzes existing legal frameworks, drawing on precedents from Europe and the United States to generalize common approaches to atypical legal personhood. This paper has become a foundational reference for scholars debating AI rights and responsibilities. Beyond this landmark study, Kuznetcov's broader contributions explore how emerging technologies challenge traditional legal categories, offering rigorous frameworks for policymakers and researchers. His work bridges abstract legal theory with concrete regulatory questions, making him a key voice in the ongoing discourse on AI governance. For students and researchers entering this field, Kuznetcov provides essential clarity on one of the most provocative legal questions of our time.
