Maroussia Lévesque joined Queen’s Law as an Assistant Professor in Law & AI in 2026. Her research focuses on AI governance, examining regulatory design, power imbalances and market concentration in the AI industry, and the respective roles of public and private actors in the governance ecosystem. Her current projects analyse how the corporate structures of frontier AI labs shape their behaviour in practice, along with the environmental implications and judicial uses of AI.
She is an affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, a Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), and a collaborator on the Indigenous-led Abundant Intelligences project.
Prior to joining Queen’s, Professor Lévesque completed her SJD at Harvard Law School, where she lectured in Comparative AI Governance (with Professor Martha Minow) and was a Fellow at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. She previously led AI and human rights work at Global Affairs Canada, clerked for the Chief Justice at the Quebec Court of Appeal, collaborated with Amnesty International’s Algorithmic Accountability Lab, and assisted in setting up the Global Partnership on AI. She is a member of the Quebec Bar.
Professor Lévesque’s scholarship has appeared in the NYU Journal of Legislation & Public Policy, the University of Illinois Journal of Law, Technology & Policy, and NeurIPS proceedings, among others. She has written for The Guardian, the Toronto Star, La Presse, The Walrus and Tech Policy Press.
