Strategic
Litigation:
Driving social change
Eticas Foundation
harnesses strategic litigation
as a tool to drive social change and challenge bias embedded in algorithmic and AI systems. Through carefully targeted legal actions, we seek to dismantle discriminatory tech practices and promote a future where technology upholds equality and justice.
Our commitment to this mission is reinforced by the coalition Acción por la Justicia Algorítmica established in 2022. This coalition brings together legal advocacy organizations across the Spanish-speaking world, sharing expertise and amplifying collective efforts to hold those responsible for harmful algorithmic practices fully accountable.
Strategic Litigation as a Catalyst for Change
Our strategic litigation approach aims to:
By addressing discriminatory algorithmic policies, we confront systemic injustices that disproportionately affect vulnerable communities, helping to reduce inequalities entrenched by automated systems.
Legal action against those responsible for harmful algorithmic decisions fosters transparency and demands accountability, ensuring that powerful actors cannot operate without scrutiny.
Our litigation efforts defend essential rights—such as privacy, non-discrimination, and due process—preserving individual dignity and autonomy in an increasingly digital world.
Strategic litigation highlights the real-world impacts of algorithmic systems, mobilizing public support and paving the way for policy changes that promote fairness.
Creating Lasting
Systemic Reform
Through strategic litigation, we aim to:
Set Legal Precedents
Landmark victories establish influential legal precedents, shaping regulatory frameworks that guide the responsible deployment of AI and algorithmic systems.
Advance Legal Discourse
Litigation fosters essential dialogue within legal and policy spheres, advancing understanding and promoting reform in how society regulates algorithmic decision-making.
Empower Affected Communities
By offering legal support to impacted individuals and communities, we elevate marginalized voices, reinforcing their power to challenge unjust systems.
Our strategic litigation model is rooted in collaboration. By partnering with legal experts, advocacy groups, and affected communities, we amplify impact and ensure that AI and algorithmic systems uphold the rights and dignity of all individuals.
