In 2021, the Assembly of the Republic approved the Portuguese Charter of Human Rights in the
Digital Age, calling upon our country to occupy a leading position in the global movement of
digital constitutionalism. In sum, the Charter consecrates a set of fundamental rights and freedoms
of the human person that must be respected, protected and promoted by public and private
entities in the cyberspace. Therefore, in the present article, we will reflect on the underlying
political-legislative intention of this document, as well as some of the juridical problems it poses.
Also, special attention will be given to the content of its Article 9, concerning the use of
Artificial Intelligence and robots.
