Paraguay introduces AI rules for courts with UNESCO support and human oversight focus
Judicial transparency improves as AI is regulated with strict human oversight in Paraguay.
UNESCO has supported Paraguay in developing a regulatory framework governing the use of AI within its judicial system.
The policy, adopted by the Supreme Court of Justice of Paraguay, establishes clear limits on AI use, ensuring that such systems function strictly as support tools rather than replacing human decision-making.
A regulation that outlines principles for the application of AI in data processing, information management and assisted decision-making. It emphasises transparency, accountability and respect for fundamental rights, requiring disclosure when AI tools influence judicial processes.
The framework aligns with UNESCO’s global guidelines on AI in courts, which promote human oversight, auditability and the protection of rights throughout the lifecycle of AI systems.
Implementation has been supported through technical cooperation, including training programmes to strengthen institutional capacity.
Such an approach in Paraguay reflects a broader trend towards embedding ethical safeguards in AI governance within public institutions. It highlights the role of international cooperation in shaping regulatory models that balance innovation with legal certainty and public trust.
