Estremoz hosts conference on supported decision-making regime and artificial intelligence

SAPO Notícias10 September 2026 at 21:00

The Bernardim Ribeiro Theater, in Estremoz, hosts this Friday, September 11, a conference dedicated to the legal regime of supported decision-making and the application of artificial intelligence in Justice. The event, titled "Who Decides When You Can No Longer Decide?", begins at 2:30 PM.

The initiative is promoted by the General Council of the Bar Association, which organizes this meeting to debate issues related to legal capacity and support mechanisms for decision-making by adults.

The supported decision-making regime replaced the former guardianship and disqualification regime, representing a paradigm shift in Portuguese law by recognizing greater autonomy for people with disabilities or impairments. The conference aims to analyze the impact of this legislative change in legal practice.

Additionally, the event also addresses the growing use of artificial intelligence in the Justice sector, a theme that has gained relevance among legal professionals and the institutions that regulate the practice of law.

New social welfare model in Higher Education: strengthen without excluding

The article analyzes the new Regulation for the Award of Scholarships to Higher Education Students approved by the Portuguese Government in May, which adjusts scholarship amounts to students' economic conditions and regional cost of living. The rector of the University of Aveiro warns that preliminary simulations at the institution indicate that around 20% of scholarship recipients analyzed (15 out of 72 cases) could no longer meet the conditions to receive a scholarship under the new rules. Although recognizing that the phased implementation until 2027/28 is positive, he argues that the reform requires a rigorous assessment of its effects, as the success of a social welfare policy is not measured only by the value of support, but also by the ability to ensure that no one is left behind.
