Beatriz is an expert in AI and data governance, with a current focus on AI liability and the law and policy of AI and economic development.
Recent work explores AI liability along their value chains, the governance of general-purpose and generative AI systems, and the design of data-publishing and sharing frameworks that balance transparency and data protection rights and interests. More broadly, I am interested in how legal systems can enable the safe and equitable diffusion of emerging technologies across diverse institutional settings, while fostering sustainable economic growth. She regularly collaborates with international organizations such as the World Bank on data governance, and have previously collaborated with the Mozilla Foundation. In 2024, her article “Future-Proofing Transparency: Re-Thinking Public Record Governance for the Age of Big Data” received the Future of Privacy Forum’s Privacy Papers Award, and I was selected as a 2024 International Strategy Forum Fellow. She is also the co-founder of the Edgelands Institute, an interdisciplinary initiative examining how the digitization of security transforms coexistence in cities worldwide, with a focus on urban youth. From 2021 to 2026 we worked in Cúcuta, Medellín, Geneva, Nairobi, and Houston.
