Coordinated by the Justice Marco Villas Boas, president of Copedem and general director of Esmat, Professor Tarsis Barreto de Oliveira and Professor Ana Beatriz de Oliveira Pretto, the training seeks to promote not only technical learning, but also connections among different legal traditions.

During the seminar, topics discussed included the safe and ethical use of artificial intelligence in the Justice System as a tool to assist in the practice of procedural acts, as well as issues related to facial recognition, criminal prediction algorithms, criminal liability in automated systems and AI-mediated environmental governance.
The discussions were led by Justice Marco Villas Boas, Professors João Ilhão Moreira, Jiang Yiwa, Tong Io Cheng, Tarsis Barreto de Oliveira and Judge Wellington Magalhães, focusing on the legal implications of artificial intelligence in the criminal and human rights fields.
The event brought together Chinese and Lusophone professors in an environment of academic cooperation, fostering a comparative dialogue between the Brazilian civil law system and the legal model in force in Macau.
