The Justice Studies Center of the Americas (JSCA/CEJA) successfully concluded the second edition of its regional program, “Artificial Intelligence and Justice Systems: Ethical Perspectives, Regulations, and International Experiences,” an initiative that brought together more than 40 participants from across the region interested in understanding the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the administration of justice.

The 2026 edition reached full enrollment, reflecting the growing interest among professionals and institutions in acquiring the tools needed to address the challenges and opportunities that AI presents for judicial systems.

Participants came from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay, representing judiciaries, public prosecution services, public defender offices, universities, and civil society organizations. This diversity helped consolidate a regional, interdisciplinary, and practice-oriented space for the exchange of experiences and knowledge.

The initiative, promoted by CEJA, aimed to prepare justice-sector professionals to face this paradigm shift by providing conceptual, technical, and ethical tools that support the responsible, transparent, and strategic adoption of artificial intelligence within the judicial sphere.

A Program with an International Perspective

The second edition of the program brought together distinguished lecturers and experts with extensive academic credentials and practical experience, including Elen Irazabal Arana (Spain), Pablo Viollier (Chile), Juliana Vivar Vera (Mexico), Pablo Pizarro (Chile), Richard Weber (Germany/Chile), and Jonathan A. Polansky (Argentina).

Those interested in exploring this topic further can consult the reports produced by CEJA, which provide guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence in public prosecution services and judicial branches. The reports are available here.
