Hugo Rojas was invited to speak in The Hague on the use of artificial intelligence for the analysis of human rights archives at an international seminar organized by the Trust Fund for Victims of the International Criminal Court.
Hugo Rojas, a professor at the School of Law and a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center for Public Policy (CiPP) at Alberto Hurtado University (UAH), participated on October 2 and 3 in the international seminar “Exploring the Use of Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies in Reparations.” The event, held in The Hague, was organized by Impunity Watch and the Trust Fund for Victims of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
At the event, the CiPP researcher was invited to present the technological developments of the “Nuestra MemorIA” project, an interdisciplinary initiative in which the UAH and the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile are collaborating. As he noted, thanks to this invitation, “representatives from various international organizations and European countries were able to learn how we in Chile are leveraging new technologies to systematize information scattered across numerous archives and record-keeping systems.”
During his trip, the professor from the School of Law also visited the International Institute for Social Studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam to learn about the work of its Legal Mobilization Platform, which investigates how the law can serve as a tool to advance social, climate, racial, and socioeconomic justice.
“The institute has a working group called the Legal Mobilization Platform, whose goal is to understand how the law can be used to advance social justice. The platform’s work supports and strengthens legitimate and impactful forms of legal mobilization, as well as those who participate in them in the areas of climate, racial, and socioeconomic justice, thereby strengthening legal certainty, the rule of law, and, ultimately, systemic justice,” explained Rojas.
