Quick answers
Is Anthony Niblett actually a co-founder of Blue J?
Yes. Blue J's about page (bluej.com/about-us), checked 2026-09-20, carries a team card reading 'Anthony Niblett — Co-Founder', and the company history on the same page says CEO Benjamin Alarie set out 'founding Blue J in 2015 alongside fellow professors Albert Yoon and Anthony Niblett.'
What does Blue J do?
Blue J's about page, checked 2026-09-20, says the company began 'with an AI-powered prediction engine for tax law cases' and 'soon expanded our product portfolio to include labor and employment law, business diagramming, and tax research.' The same page lists a Canadian office at 225 King Street West, Suite 1405, Toronto.
What is his academic role?
Blue J's about page, checked 2026-09-20, says he 'is a professor of law and the Canada Research Chair of Law, Economics, & Innovation at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law' and that he holds a PhD in Economics from Harvard and degrees in Law and Commerce from the University of Melbourne.
Has that changed recently?
Yes, and the two sources disagree. Law Times, in an article dated 2026-01-07 and checked 2026-09-20, reports that 'Anthony Niblett — a U of T professor who holds the Canada research chair in law, economics, and innovation — has assumed the new AI and technology chair as of Jan. 1.' Blue J's about page had not been updated to reflect that when checked on 2026-09-20.
