La Plata Hosts Panhispanic Convention on Clear Language and AI

The event signals institutional moves to treat clear Spanish as a civic right.

Overview

  • The III Convención de la Red Panhispánica de Lenguaje Claro y Accesible opened in La Plata on Thursday, October 1st with joint leadership from the Real Academia Española and the Supreme Court of Buenos Aires.
  • Organizers expect about 1,200 registered participants and more than 275 presentations across six thematic axes that include public‑sector language, judicial clarity, cognitive accessibility, and artificial intelligence.
  • The Municipality of La Plata formally honored RAE director Santiago Muñoz Machado with the Key to the City and signed adhesion to the Red, signaling local government commitment to the movement.
  • The RAE is promoting the LEIA project to train language tools in correct, transparent Spanish and says it holds dialogues and agreements with large U.S. tech firms to align language models with community norms.
  • Provincial judicial leaders framed lenguaje claro as a right and a judicial duty, a policy the Supreme Court of Buenos Aires began institutionalizing after its 2019 adhesion to the national clear‑language network and which organizers say could improve access to justice and make automated legal text easier to understand.
