By Heredia, Costa Rica – Last weekend, notarial law students at Universidad Hispanoamericana immersed themselves in the transformative world of artificial intelligence (AI).
The special session, led by the esteemed Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, was designed to expose future legal professionals to the cutting-edge technologies shaping their field.
The class delved into the various applications of AI in notarial law, focusing on how these technologies can streamline document analysis, enhance predictive analytics, and automate routine administrative tasks.
A significant highlight of the session was a discussion on a recent thesis titled “Innovando en el Derecho Notarial y Registral: El Papel de la Inteligencia Artificial” which emphasized the critical role of artificial intelligence in modernizing notarial practices. This thesis, which has garnered considerable attention in academic circles, argues that AI can significantly reduce errors in document verification and improve the overall efficiency of notarial processes.
AI is poised to redefine our profession, making it more efficient and error-free, The integration of AI into notarial law is not just a novelty; it’s a necessity. Our goal is to prepare students for a legal landscape that is increasingly driven by technology

Students engaged in interactive discussions and hands-on activities that demonstrated the practical benefits of AI.
They explored AI-powered software that can analyze large volumes of legal documents with unprecedented speed and accuracy, a capability that is revolutionizing the way notarial work is conducted.
Lic. Arroyo Vargas emphasized the ethical considerations and challenges associated with AI, including data privacy and the potential for bias in AI algorithms. He encouraged students to think critically about these issues as they adopt new technologies in their future careers.
Understanding the ethical implications is as important as mastering the technology itself
