In the framework of the Regional Instrument on Permitted Uses in Copyright project, a specific workshop on text and data mining (TDM) in the Latin American context was held in Curitiba, Brazil. The aim was to identify copyright challenges arising from these technologies, especially when TDM involves the manipulation of large amounts of protected material. The use of TDM and Artificial Intelligence to extract patterns or generate new content presents a debate between the benefits of innovation and the rights of original creators.
