The Center is an exceptional environment for <strong>encounter and dialogue among academic researchers<\/strong> from different disciplines and legal traditions. It currently hosts a large number of researchers, both short- and long-term, from European and American universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mateo Baeza&#8217;s doctoral thesis<\/strong> asks <strong>how the digital revolution and artificial intelligence are transforming political power, and what must be done to ensure that this transformation does not end up eroding the fundamental rights guaranteed within the framework of European liberal democracies<\/strong>. To analyze the impact of artificial intelligence on fundamental rights, it is not enough to examine the technology alone, nor its possible regulation or governance. It is necessary to <strong>review the origin and foundation of the legal-political category of fundamental rights, to reconsider what underpins their protection against power, and how human dignity is understood within a legal and philosophical tradition that predates the digital era.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, and thanks to the CEPC&#8217;s own resources, the researcher and doctoral candidate was able to<em> revisit<\/em> some essential figures, such as Peces-Barba \u2014one of the founding fathers of the Spanish Constitution\u2014 and his <em>Teor\u00eda General<\/em>. His work makes it possible to establish the protection of fundamental rights based on the projection of human dignity and individual autonomy. Building on this, <strong>the doctoral candidate has been able to shape one of the parts of his research<\/strong>, specifically the section devoted to <strong>diagnosing the risks that artificial intelligence poses to fundamental rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the CEPC&#8217;s own publications, <strong>the researcher has also located and acquired recently published monographs<\/strong> that have proven highly useful, as they <strong>provide doctrinal<\/strong> <strong>support<\/strong> (and are highly academically robust) <strong>for the perspectives and approaches adopted throughout his research.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"583\" height=\"537\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-1.jpg 583w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-1-300x276.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-1-150x138.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-1-456x420.jpg 456w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"546\" height=\"528\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-2.jpg 546w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-2-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-2-150x145.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-2-434x420.jpg 434w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"571\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-3.jpg 559w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-3-294x300.jpg 294w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-3-150x153.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-3-300x306.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-3-411x420.jpg 411w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-3-356x364.jpg 356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"598\" height=\"574\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-4.jpg 598w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-4-300x288.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-4-150x144.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/08\/Imagen-4-438x420.jpg 438w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The research stay proved to be <strong>highly enriching<\/strong> thanks to the formal <strong>conversations and debates<\/strong> held within seminars, as well as the informal ones over a meal or coffee.

In this regard, <strong>one particular seminar stands out, in which the doctoral candidate was able to present some of the progress made in his research<\/strong> and which sparked a highly engaging academic debate.
