Yasmin Goes

Yasmin Goes is a Research Scholar at the University of Miami School of Law and a PhD student in Public International Law at the University of São Paulo (USP), specializing in the intersection of artificial intelligence, courts, international law, and governance. Her research examines how federal courts in Brazil and the United States are adopting artificial intelligence and generative AI, with particular attention to judicial decision-making, human oversight, transparency, accountability, fundamental rights, and the rule of law. She is particularly interested in developing governance frameworks that preserve meaningful human control over AI-assisted judicial processes.

Yasmin has built an international career spanning legal research, technology policy, digital governance, and cyber policy. During her master's studies at New York University, where she earned an MS in Global Affairs with concentrations in International Law and Human Rights and a specialization in Data Analysis, she contributed to research on global digital governance in partnership with the United Nations Foundation. She later served as a Program Assistant at Observer Research Foundation America in Washington, D.C., collaborating with more than 100 technology and policy stakeholders and supporting cyber capacity-building initiatives across Southeast Asia, the Western Balkans, and Southern Africa. She currently works as a Research Assistant at IDP in Brazil, conducting research on constitutional law, AI regulation, digital governance, and emerging technologies, while also contributing to academic publications, legal analyses, and policy research.

Beyond her research and policy work, Yasmin is committed to expanding access to international academic and professional opportunities, particularly for professionals from the Global South. Through her career consulting work, she has advised more than 150 Brazilian professionals on U.S. career and academic strategies, while her research and speaking engagements have allowed her to share expertise in international law, AI governance, and emerging technologies. Her work reflects a broader commitment to responsible and human-centered technology governance and to strengthening diverse voices in global academia and technology policy. Looking ahead, Yasmin aims to pursue a career in academia where she can contribute to research, mentor future professionals, and amplify Global South and women's perspectives in law, technology, and STEM.
