JUDICIAL OBSERVATORY

Abstract

The Judicial Observatory presents an overview of recent judicial developments through three main topics. First, it addresses the relationship between artificial intelligence and law, highlighting a ruling by Mexico’s Supreme Court holding that AI-generated outputs are not original works and therefore belong to the public domain, although the software used to develop AI systems may be legally protected. Second, it examines a judgment of the European Court of Human Rights condemning Greece for an excessively long judicial process lasting nearly nineteen years, emphasizing that access to justice must be effective and timely. Finally, it analyzes the case known as “protected data,” concerning sanctions imposed by Mexico’s Electoral Court for political gender-based violence, which sparked a significant debate on the limits between freedom of expression and the protection of political rights in the electoral context.
