About
Pedro Rubim Borges Fortes is a leading scholar at the intersection of law, technology, and digital governance. His research critically examines how algorithmic decision-making, artificial intelligence, and automation reshape the foundations of justice and due process. Fortes’s most influential work, "Paths to Digital Justice: Judicial Robots, Algorithmic Decision-Making, and Due Process" (2020, 35 citations), explores the tension between the efficiency of automated systems and the preservation of human-centered legal guarantees. He argues that digital justice must retain its human quality to safeguard procedural fairness. In his provocative piece "Hasta la vista, baby: reflections on the risks of algocracy, killer robots, and artificial superintelligence" (2021, 9 citations), Fortes delves into the dangers of algocracy—governance by algorithms—and the existential risks posed by autonomous systems. His work is notable for bridging legal theory with pressing technological ethics, engaging with debates on killer robots and superintelligence. With a growing citation footprint, Fortes is a vital voice in understanding how law can adapt to—and constrain—emerging digital powers, making his research essential for students and scholars navigating the future of justice in an algorithmic age.
