From 15 to 17 November 2023, at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in Costa Rica, we had three days of intense dialogue on #AI and the Rule of Law with Judges and Directors of National Judicial Training institutions from 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, with the support of the European Commission.
Together with a team of UNESCO colleagues between Paris and Latin America, I had the pleasure of being responsible for the academic coordination of this high-level activity.
We used the UNESCO Global Toolkit on AI and the Rule of Law to talk about how AI systems are being used in judicial administrations and discussed how AI governance is possible through international and regional human rights standards. We also applied UNESCO’s ethical impact assessment tool for AI.
As my colleague Prateek Sibal stated, “we now have a Latin American Network of Ambassadors on AI and the Rule of Law who are enthusiastic about strengthening capacities of judiciary in their countries over the next years with UNESCO”
The team of this project was also integrated by: Rosa María González, Prateek Sibal, Juan David Gutierrez, Agneris Sampieri, Cecilia Gordano, Cecilia Gonzalez, Matías Ponce, Charline D´Oultremont, Giovanni Imperiali, Gustavo Fonseca Ribeiro.
