L'Eclissi della Verità: Perché l'Intelligenza Artificiale Mente

Viviamo nell’era della fluidità cognitiva.
Quando un’interfaccia ci parla con una sintassi impeccabile e un tono autorevole, il nostro cervello si arrende: se parla così bene, deve essere vero. Ma cosa succede quando questa macchina dall'eloquenza perfetta allucina l’intera trama di un libro mai scritto finendo sulle pagine del Chicago Sun-Times, o invalida un report da $300.000 citando sentenze inesistenti?

Questo talk non è l'ennesimo tutorial su come arginare i bug dell'IA con una pipeline di RAG o una ricetta di prompt engineering. È una decostruzione radicale del nostro rapporto con il linguaggio. Attraverso casi reali e fallimenti spettacolari, esploreremo il paradosso intrinseco delle moderne IA generative: sistemi matematicamente ottimizzati per essere piacevoli e verosimili, ma strutturalmente privi di qualsiasi ancoraggio sensoriale con la realtà fisica.

Capiremo come la perdita inevitabile di dettagli nella compressione dei dati crei "fantasmi stocastici", e come l'industria stia correndo ai ripari cambiando le regole del gioco — penalizzando l'overconfidence e premiando l'onestà del silenzio. Ma per curare questa "psicosi" algoritmica, l'ingegneria classica non basta più. Sposteremo la prospettiva verso le scienze cognitive e il paradigma delle 4E della mente (Embodied, Embedded, Enacted, Extended), scoprendo perché la vera intelligenza non possa esistere sotto vuoto, ma richieda un corpo, un'azione e uno scontro continuo con il mondo fisico.

Un viaggio multidisciplinare sospeso tra codice, filosofia della mente e neuroscienze, per ridefinire i confini dell'intelligenza artificiale e riscoprire, in questo specchio tecnologico, cosa ci rende davvero umani.

DevFest Vibe Lounge - Build with Google Maps Platform and AI - Session 2

Where does building with AI start today? It starts with a spark: an idea worth prototyping. Google AI Studio's Build Mode turns that spark into reality through "vibe coding." By leveraging Gemini models, you can design, test, and deploy full-stack web applications entirely through conversational code generation.

You will build Block Explorer, an interactive geospatial game that combines real-world mapping data with generative AI. You will use AI Studio to generate the application and integrate it with Google Maps Platform and the Gemini API. You'll then learn how to deploy the finished application straight to Cloud Run, making it available for others to try

Google Adk: from zero to hero

Questo workshop raccoglie un percorso formativo completo, strutturato in più moduli, dedicato al Google Agent Development Kit (ADK). Attraverso una serie di laboratori pratici potrai imparare i concetti fondamentali e avanzati dell’ADK per progettare, sviluppare, testare, distribuire e osservare i tuoi agenti AI in scenari reali.

🎯 Filosofia del workshop: From Zero to Hero
Questo workshop nasce dall’esigenza di offrire un percorso end‑to‑end che accompagni lo sviluppatore dai concetti di base degli AI agent fino alla realizzazione di sistemi complessi, pronti per la produzione. L’obiettivo è portarti da “Zero” a “Hero” nello sviluppo di agenti con Google ADK, combinando teoria essenziale e tanta pratica guidata su codice e casi d’uso concreti.

Code Your Agent: Hands-On with Google ADK

Ready to move beyond basic chatbots and build truly intelligent, autonomous agents? This hands-on workshop is your entry point to Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK). In just two hours, we'll dive into the code-first, modular framework that's changing how developers build AI applications. You'll not only learn the fundamentals of ADK but also build, test, and run your very own AI agent from scratch.

This isn't a theory-heavy lecture. We'll be in the trenches, writing code, integrating tools, and seeing our agents come to life. By the end of this session, you'll have a working agent that can leverage the power of Google Search, use a custom-built tool, and even interact with your local file system using natural language commands. Get ready to unleash the full potential of agentic AI.

Prerequisites & Requirements:

To ensure a smooth and productive session, please come prepared with the following:

1) Laptop
2) Personal Gmail account: Required to set up a Gemini API Key and to access to other tools

Beyond the Syntax: Vibe Coding with Gemini CLI

What happens when you "give in to the vibes" and let AI handle the heavy lifting of implementation? Coined by Andrej Karpathy, Vibe Coding is a paradigm shift in how we build software. It’s about moving away from line-by-line coding and stepping into the role of a technical orchestrator.

In this hands-on workshop, we will dive deep into the Gemini CLI, an open-source agent that lives right in your terminal. Unlike traditional web-based chatbots, the Gemini CLI has the unique ability to read your entire codebase, execute shell commands, and even self-correct its own errors in real-time.

In this session, we will cover:

The Vibe Mindset: How to focus on architecture and features rather than getting bogged down in syntax.

CLI Mastery: Setting up and using the Gemini CLI to interact with your local files and environment.

Agentic Workflows: Using the ReAct (Reason + Act) loop to let Gemini fix bugs, generate documentation, and build new features autonomously.

Context Control: Techniques like using GEMINI.md to feed the model the right "vibes" (project standards and goals) so it never loses the plot.

The "Yolo" Loop: Rapidly prototyping a functional application from scratch in under 30 minutes.

Who is this for?
Whether you are a seasoned engineer looking to 10x your productivity or a curious beginner wanting to break into tech, this workshop is designed to show you that the most important skill in 2026 isn't knowing a specific library—it's knowing how to communicate with AI to bring your ideas to life.

What to bring:
A laptop.
A "vibe-first" attitude—prepared to experiment and iterate!

Pragmatic AppMod: take an old PHP project and make it 12-factor compliant on GCP

Hai una vecchia applicazione del 2010 da rottamare, Java8, Rails, PHP, magari ColdFusion? Hai le password in chiaro in ogni file e ti vergogni a far vedere il codice al tuo amico programmatore per paura che ti tolga il saluto? Niente paura! Gli amici di Google ti guideranno passo a passo a prendere un’applicazione e modernizzarla (la cosiddetta “AppMod”).

Prerequisiti:
- sarà necessario avere con sè il proprio laptop;
- sarà necessario avere un account gmail;
- sarà necessario avere un account github;
- è richiesta una minima conoscenza di git (mandatoria la conoscenza di comandi come ` git clone` .

É richiesta registrazione tramite biglietto "AppMod workshop" su Eventbrite: https://bit.ly/devfest-pescara-24.

Oltre le Parole - Gli LLM Comprendono Davvero?

Questo talk esplora la 'comprensione' degli LLM. Partendo da Cartesio e Turing, useremo la Stanza Cinese di Searle per chiederci se gli LLM (anche multimodali) comprendano o simulino. Confronteremo poi con il Funzionalismo di Putnam e l'emergenza di Hofstadter, stimolando una riflessione filosofica sulla vera natura dell'intelligenza artificiale

Intro to Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

RAG typically uses external data sources only based on text. With Gemini Pro Vision and multimodal embeddings, you can now perform multimodal RAG on text and images. In this session, you will gain hands-on experience by performing multimodal RAG on a financial document that contains both text and images (charts, diagrams).

Codemotion Tech Expert in AI/ML, Cloud, Data

I will be available in the networking area in front of the main stage as Tech Expert in AI/ML, Cloud, Data . Let's meet there for questions, mentoring, and special activities (with related gadgets) we have for you.
