Business Analytics

👋🏻 Hi everyone! I'm here with some exciting news. I'm launching a social project to connect people so we can grow together! ✨ The main idea: We meet in cozy spots with tasty food (different ones each time) to discuss interesting topics in English. Discussion topics: • Psychology • Philosophy • Relationships • Biology • History • Sociology • Science • Technology • Politics • Business • Finance 🗺️ How the meetups work: Stage 1. The Gathering. Usually at 5:00 PM in a park or city center. Stage 2. The Move. We walk together to a chosen cafe or restaurant. Stage 3. The Discussion. We pick a topic to kickstart the conversation. Stage 4. The Wrap-up. Around 8:00 PM, we start winding down and heading home. (Duration: \~3 hours) \* For those who are shy: In my experience, 80% of the tension and nervousness usually fades away within the first 15 minutes of conversation. 💌 Come join us!

**Riesgos legales de usar Inteligencia Artificial en tu sitio web: lo que nadie te está diciendo** El uso de Inteligencia Artificial se ha integrado rápidamente en el desarrollo web, el marketing digital y la gestión de contenidos, especialmente en entornos como WordPress. Sin embargo, detrás de su aparente facilidad y eficiencia, existen riesgos legales que muchas personas desconocen y que pueden generar consecuencias importantes para negocios, desarrolladores y creadores de contenido. Esta charla aborda de forma clara, práctica y accesible los principales riesgos jurídicos asociados al uso de IA en sitios web, con un enfoque aplicado a la realidad de Costa Rica y el entorno digital global. Se analizarán aspectos clave como la protección de datos personales, el uso de cookies, formularios y bases de datos de usuarios, así como la necesidad de contar con políticas de privacidad adecuadas que realmente protejan al negocio y no se limiten a cumplir formalidades. También se explorarán los retos en materia de propiedad intelectual, incluyendo el uso de contenido generado por IA, derechos de autor en temas y plugins, implicaciones de licencias como la GPL y el uso de recursos de terceros como imágenes, tipografías y materiales digitales. Además, se brindarán criterios prácticos para identificar riesgos, evitar errores comunes y tomar decisiones informadas al integrar herramientas de inteligencia artificial en proyectos digitales. Esta ponencia tiene como objetivo cambiar la forma en que se percibe la IA: no solo como una herramienta poderosa, sino como un elemento que requiere un uso consciente, responsable y jurídicamente seguro. Al finalizar, los participantes tendrán una visión clara de los riesgos legales existentes y de las acciones concretas que pueden implementar para proteger sus proyectos digitales.
