Jean-Christophe Bélisle-Pipon

Jean-Christophe Bélisle-Pipon, PhD is an Assistant Professor in Health Ethics (Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University). He works where medical AI systems are under pressure; when speed overrides care, governance trails deployment, and the hard questions arrive late. He embeds within research, clinical, industry, and policy settings to support responsible design and implementation as it unfolds. As co-PI on international collaborations across Canada, USA, and Europe, he codesigns governance frameworks built to hold under constraint, not collapse under complexity. He shapes responsible AI implementation in context, not on paper. He advises agencies and NGOs on aligning AI systems with democratic and humanistic values. His methods are participatory, and structurally grounded, focused on how infrastructures build trust and produce accountability. His approach is restless, inclusive, and resists easy fixes. He treats AI systems as political choices and friction as design input. Through scholarship, creative works (plays, art exhibitions), and experimental formats, he helps ethics speak where medical AI systems are scaled, stressed, and shaped by choices no checklist can fully capture.
