Justice Natalia Ángel Cabo, President of the Constitutional Court of Colombia (from 2027), gives the second Birmingham Law School annual lecture.
The annual lecture explores the rapidly evolving intersection between constitutional law and emerging technologies through the lens of recent landmark decisions of the Colombian Constitutional Court. Drawing on recent rulings on content moderation, algorithmic transparency in access to public information, and signal blocking during public protests, the lecture will illustrate the types of challenges faced by constitutional judges in a digital age. The lecture will conclude with a reflection on the concerns and dilemmas confronted by constitutional courts in the global south in deciding these cases.
