By Bufete Mejia & Asociados

The Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana (UNITEC) recently hosted the International Congress on Artificial Intelligence, a significant event that brought together Honduran and international experts to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by AI in various fields. Among the distinguished speakers was Blanca Mejía,  partner at Bufete Mejía & Asociados, who addressed the critical topic of intellectual property in the era of artificial intelligence.

Mejía participated in a panel discussion on intellectual property for creatives in the age of AI. Her insights were invaluable in shedding light on the legal implications of AI in this domain. With her extensive experience in intellectual property law, Mejía emphasized the need to adapt existing laws and develop new regulations to protect the rights of creators in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Honduras, like many developing countries, is still in the early stages of AI adoption. The absence of a specific regulatory framework for AI poses challenges for companies seeking to develop or deploy AI technologies within the country. This regulatory ambiguity creates a complex environment that requires careful navigation by all stakeholders.
