Give me the gist: JavaScript vs Lisp en
Did you know JavaScript has a distant brother? It does, and it shapes its very foundations. In this talk, we'll quickly explore the main commonalities between JavaScript and Lisp, to better understand what truly shapes the core of JavaScript. No previous experience required!
Attacking LLM Detectors with Homoglyph-Based Attacks en
As large language models (LLMs) become more and more skilled at writing human-like text, the ability to detect what they generate is critical. This session explores a novel attack vector, homoglyph-based attacks, that effectively bypasses state-of-the-art LLM detectors.
We'll begin by explaining the idea behind homoglyphs, characters that look similar but are encoded differently. You'll learn how these can be used to manipulate tokenization and evade detection systems. We'll cover the mechanisms of how homoglyphs alter text representation, discuss their impact on existing LLM detectors, and present a comprehensive evaluation of their effectiveness against various detection methods.
Join us for an engaging exploration of this emerging threat and to stay ahead of evolving evasion techniques!
Strolling Through the Garden... of Vertex AI en

How far are we from General AI, really? en
Short answer: very far.
If you just wanted the short answer, you can skip the session. But there's much more to it than that! 🤓
In this talk, we'll explore the current state of AI and its limitations. We'll discuss the hype around AI and why we're not as close to General AI as some might think. We'll also talk about some of the most promising avenues of research that (might) get us there in a very distant future.
Join us for a deep dive into the world of AI and a reality check on where we stand today. You'll leave with a better understanding of the field and a more critical view of the technology that surrounds us.
Are Spanish speakers more likely to ask chatbots like Gemini about sex? en
Did you know that there's public datasets of conversations of users with chatbots? We can learn a lot from them!
In this session, we'll explore the differences in the way that speakers of different European languages interact with chatbots. What are the most negative ones? Who's more likely to hate on others? Which ones are more satisfied with the answers they get? We'll analyze the data and interpret the results. You'll be surprised by what we find!
Gender bias and LLMs: why it's so hard to fix LLMs like Gemini en
We all know that AI can be biased. If we ask it to complete the sentence "My mum works as a...", we're likely to get "nurse" as a suggestion. But why is that? And how can we fix it?
Yes, data is a part of the equation, but this problem goes deeper. We'll learn why some bias is good (in specific cases). And we'll discuss ways to fix it, as well as its implications. Let's dive into the world of AI bias!
How on earth are we gonna enforce the AI Act? en
So – we've done it. The AI Act is a reality! Or is it?
Well... maybe not yet. In fact, there's a lot of open questions. In this talk, I want to help you understand the requirement that "the outputs of the AI system are marked in a machine-readable format and detectable as artificially generated or manipulated".
What does this mean? How can this be enforced? What are the implications for AI developers? There's no clear-cut answer yet (spoiler), but I'll give you my own two cents on the topic. Join us for a deep dive into the AI Act and its implications!
How private are your conversations with chatbots like Gemini? en
Talking to chatbots feels like talking to a friend, but are they really trustworthy? Well – not always!
In fact, your conversations may already be public on the internet. And I've found it really disturbing to see the kind of information that's out there. Social security numbers, addresses, phone numbers... you name it! 😱
In this session, we'll explore some of these conversations. We might have a few laughs, but my goal is that you'll walk out much more aware of how public all these conversations are. And you'll learn how to protect yourself and your data better. Join us!
