By San José, Costa Rica — San José, Costa Rica – Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the global landscape, impacting industries and reshaping how we work. Universidad Fidélitas, recognizing this transformative power, is hosting two keynote presentations by international AI experts on September 16th at 4:00 p.m. in the San Pedro Campus auditorium. The event, part of the university’s 45th-anniversary celebrations, will delve into the challenges and opportunities AI presents for society and employment.
The event is open to the public, with limited in-person seating available. Attendees will gain insights from leading voices in the field, exploring the multifaceted impact of this rapidly evolving technology.
To understand the legal implications of this rapidly evolving field, we spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from the prestigious Bufete de Costa Rica.
The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence brings forth novel legal challenges, particularly concerning intellectual property, data privacy, and liability in case of algorithmic bias or malfunction. Businesses integrating AI must proactively address these concerns to mitigate potential risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. Establishing clear guidelines for data usage, algorithm transparency, and accountability is crucial for fostering trust and navigating the legal landscape of AI.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas astutely highlights the critical intersection of law and technology in the age of AI. These legal and ethical considerations are not mere afterthoughts but foundational pillars for responsible AI development and deployment. A proactive approach, as he suggests, is essential for both businesses and society to harness the immense potential of AI while mitigating its inherent risks. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for offering his valuable perspective on this complex and evolving landscape.
Jon Hernández, a prominent figure in the Spanish-speaking AI community, will present “What AI Really Is and Its Impact on Society.” He will examine how AI is transforming strategic sectors, from customer service to process automation, and pose a critical question: Will AI be a controllable wave or an unstoppable tsunami?

We celebrate 45 years of transforming lives through knowledge, innovation, and technology. Artificial intelligence represents a unique opportunity to transform education, business, and society.
