Ramses A. Ortiz Castillo has been the winner of the “Rule of Law Writing Competition: New Generations Building the Future”, launched by the World Jurist Association with the aim of being a space that promotes reflection and analysis on the most relevant legal issues affecting the Rule of Law.
This competition was held on the occasion of the World Law Congress 2025 Dominican Republic, whose call was open to young law students and recent graduates between 18 and 25 years old. The theme of this first edition, “Artificial intelligence and human dignity: opportunities and challenges of its regulation”, invited to reflect on the ethical and legal challenges of AI in our society.
In response to this proposal, the winning essay, “The algorithm said no: now who responds?”, is a critical analysis of automated decisions that can affect fundamental rights such as access to employment, credit or public aid.
For the World Jurist Association, initiatives such as these are a celebration of the commitment of new generations to the rule of law in the digital age.
