News, analysis and opinion pieces on artificial intelligence published on AGENTE LEX.
In May 2026 the Advisory Council on Innovation and the Legal Profession of the Spanish Legal Profession published ten principles for the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence. We summarise them and suggest how to turn them into concrete firm practices.
Since January 2026, judges and magistrates work under a CGPJ instruction that sets which AI tools they can use and for what. The Justice Administration has its own policy. Many firms, by contrast, still have no written rules.
In November 2023 Spain approved a controlled test environment to trial compliance with the European artificial intelligence requirements before they became mandatory. We explain how it works, based on the text of Royal Decree 817/2023.
In 2023 Spain created a state agency to supervise the use of artificial intelligence, based in A Coruña. Its Statute gives it supervisory, inspection and sanctioning functions, as well as advice and promotion of test environments. We review what the rule says.
Since 30 January 2026, judges and magistrates have their own rules for using artificial intelligence. They can only use systems provided by the administrations or the CGPJ, always as support and with human control. We explain what it means for those who litigate.
