Carmen submitted a thesis, in which she analyzed the 2024 EU Artificial Intelligence ACT (also known as “AI ACT” ), examining how it balances AI innovation with the protection of fundamental rights (such as prohibition of subliminal, manipulative, or deceptive techniques in AI, crime prediction through personal profiling or mass extraction of facial recognition data), and comparing it with other relevant regulations in the USA or China. In addition, she obtained a Diploma in Communication Skills and Studies in a Foreign Language (English).

Carmen was admitted into the Madrid Bar Association (ICAM) after obtaining her LL.M from the ICAM. Her final thesis was entitled “Multi-Club Ownership: comparative legal analysis, risks and future prospects”.
