By Heredia, Costa Rica — A groundbreaking thesis titled “Innovating in Notarial and Registry Law: The Role of Artificial Intelligence” authored by Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, has sparked significant interest in the legal community of Costa Rica. The comprehensive study explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the realms of notarial and registry law, highlighting both opportunities and challenges associated with its implementation.
Artificial intelligence, as discussed in the thesis, holds immense potential to automate data-intensive tasks such as document verification and fraud detection. By enhancing efficiency and transparency, AI aligns perfectly with the core principles governing notarial and registry practices. Moreover, specialized AI systems can interpret and apply complex legal norms, contributing to greater uniformity and precision in legal practice, which is increasingly crucial in a globalized world.

Despite these advantages, the implementation of AI in notarial and registry law is not without its challenges. One of the primary concerns highlighted is the reliability and impartiality of AI systems. Ensuring that these systems are free from bias and that the data used to train them is comprehensive and representative is critical. Moreover, adequate human oversight is essential to ensure the accuracy and legality of AI conclusions and recommendations.
A notable benefit of AI integration is its ability to significantly reduce human errors in notarial and registry processes. By automating routine tasks, AI can free legal professionals to focus on more complex and valuable aspects of their work. This transformation not only enhances efficiency and security but also represents a significant step forward in the evolution of the legal field, aligning it with the demands and challenges of the 21st century.
The thesis presented at Universidad Hispanoamericana delves into the historical roots of notarial and registry law, tracing its origins to Roman law and the subsequent continental European traditions. These legal frameworks have long emphasized principles of transparency, legality, and legal certainty. However, the advent of digital technologies and AI presents unprecedented challenges and opportunities for this legal field.
The thesis also emphasizes the importance of continuous collaboration between technologists and legal professionals. Successful AI implementation requires deep knowledge of both technology and the complexities of notarial and registry law. Legal professionals must be actively involved in the design and deployment of AI systems to ensure their effectiveness and alignment with the field’s standards and needs.
Another critical aspect discussed is the ethical and legal implications of AI use in this domain. Issues of privacy, data security, and the potential for AI systems to perpetuate existing inequalities are significant concerns. For example, biased data sets could lead to unfair or discriminatory decisions by AI systems. Therefore, ongoing dialogue and regulation are necessary to address these challenges and ensure that AI use in legal contexts is ethical and responsible.
The thesis “Innovando en el Derecho Notarial y Registral: El Papel de la Inteligencia Artificial” serves as a comprehensive guide and a call to action for the Costa Rican legal community to embrace AI while carefully navigating the associated challenges and opportunities.
The integration of AI into notarial and registry law in Costa Rica is both an imminent necessity and a promising opportunity. The potential to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and legal certainty while addressing ethical and legal challenges makes AI a powerful tool for modernizing these legal fields.
For legal professionals and institutions, adapting to this technological evolution involves not only embracing new tools but also ensuring that these advancements are used responsibly and ethically. The balance between innovation and tradition is crucial to maintaining public trust and upholding the fundamental principles of law.
