**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.

👋🏻 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!

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
