Prompt Engineering: Concepts and strategies
Learn how to ask the right questions to get the best output from Large Language Models (LLMs) using plain language prompts.
This session will explore how LLMs can be 'programmed' in natural language without needing deep technical knowledge. Discover useful prompting techniques and how creativity and persistence can make you a great prompt engineer, regardless of coding experience.
The AI Governance Challenge
In this session, we will explore the fundamental principles and practices necessary for effective governance of Artificial Intelligence. We will discuss best practices in developing robust governance frameworks that can adapt to the dynamic nature of AI technologies and their diverse applications across various sectors.
The session aims to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the multi-dimensional aspects of AI governance, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts to ensure that AI is developed and used in ways that are beneficial, ethical, and aligned with societal values. Participants will leave with insights into navigating the evolving landscape of AI regulation and the skills to contribute to or implement effective AI governance strategies within their organizations or fields.
Intro to TensorFlow.js
In this workshop we will make a smart webcam application with pre-trained Machine Learning models that runs on the browser, using the most popular Machine Learning framework for Javascript: TensorFlow.js
Garantizando calidad y seguridad en aplicaciones basadas en LLMs
En esta charla exploraremos una variedad de herramientas de código abierto diseñadas para mejorar la calidad y la seguridad en aplicaciones basadas en Large Language Models (LLMs). Usando ejemplos sencillos, aprenderemos cómo estas herramientas pueden ser utilizadas para enfrentar desafíos comunes como alucinaciones (respuestas inexactas o inventadas), jailbreaks (intentos de evadir restricciones de seguridad), toxicidad y fugas de datos. Además, discutiremos estrategias para evaluar y mitigar estos riesgos, asegurando que las aplicaciones LLM sean tanto robustas como confiables.
Introducción a la API de Gemini para web apps
En esta sesión, descubrirás cómo acceder a la API de Gemini directamente desde tu aplicación web utilizando el SDK JavaScript de Google AI. Este SDK te permite utilizar los modelos de IA Generativa de Gemini para crear funciones y aplicaciones basadas en IA.
Aprenderás, con sólo unas pocas líneas de código, a acceder a las capacidades multimodales de Gemini para generar texto a partir de la entrada de texto e imágenes.
Unlocking the power of AI: Private conversations with your docs using Langchain JS
Do you like AI, but hate sharing data? What if I told you all the fun of Large Language Models like ChatGPT is available quickly, locally, and privately? With Langchain JS, an open-source framework for developing applications powered by language models, this dream becomes reality!
In this workshop, you will go from zero to hero by learning how LLMs and Langchain work and then we will build a node.js app bringing together your data with publically available LLMs - while also preventing your data and responses from going through third parties & keeping your data private.
Love LLMs, Love Privacy, Love this workshop <3
Responsible AI: Prioritising people, values, and ethics in a data-driven world

Ethics of AI - What can we learn from Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics?
Technology is embedded in our lives, and Artificial Intelligence will have an ever greater impact on the development of humanity.
As creators of technology, are we prepared for the responsibility that this entails, as we try to create machines that emulate human reasoning and behaviour?
Let's find out what Isaac Asimov, one of the greatest science fiction writers, had to said about it when he wrote the Three Laws of Robotics, considered by many to be the historical starting point of the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence.
Ética en IA: ¿qué podemos aprender de las leyes de la robótica de Asimov?
La tecnología está integrada en nuestras vidas y la Inteligencia Artificial tendrá un impacto cada vez mayor en el desarrollo de la humanidad. Como creadores de tecnología, ¿estamos preparados para la responsabilidad que esto conlleva, mientras tratamos de crear máquinas que emulen el razonamiento y el comportamiento humano? Averigüemos lo que Isaac Asimov, uno de los más grandes escritores de ciencia ficción, dijo al respecto.
The Singularity: A Technological Tsunami
The technological singularity is often described as a 'tsunami' that will fundamentally change the way we live and interact with the world.
