Riesgos legales de usar Inteligencia Artificial en tu Sitio Web
Riesgos legales de usar Inteligencia Artificial en tu Sitio Web
**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.

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!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
