The program includes issues of interest about Plagiarism and artificial intelligence, the role of collective management agencies, benefits of partnership with a collective management entity, digital platforms for collection and distribution of Internet services, fair contracts, author and editor: the human side of creation versus technological advancement, among other issues.

The incumbent of Culture thanked the organizing committee for its invitation to this inaugural event and also for "an opportunity to address this auditorium, made up of authors, artists, law professionals, state servants and students, who have as their common denominator an interest in knowledge in this noble discipline of human knowledge: copyright."

For his part Eric Velasco, national director of copyright at MiCultura explained "that this issue will reflect on artificial intelligence creations, if they can find protection about copyright, or if there's a need to set up a new right to protect them."

The seminar was opened with Orit Btesh, president of the Panamanian Chamber of Books, Lorena Bolaños de pacheco, manager of the Programme for the Development of Copyright at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in the virtual area, Ana María Cabanelas, president of the International Federation of Reproductive Rights Organizations (IFRRO), for Latin America and Andrés Ossa Quintero, director of the Regional Centre for the Promotion of Book in Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLALC) and María Fernanda Mendoza, consultant of the International Forum of Authors (IAF).
