6:15 – 6:30 pm - Eliminating the "Runs on My Machine" Problem: A Developer's Guide (Toma Puljak)
As a developer, novice or skilled, setting up your environment and dependencies is a common problem. More often than not, you run into the "runs on my machine" issue. Rid yourself of this problem once and for all and focus on what you do best - code.
6:30 – 7:00 pm - Bringing Clarity to the Complex World of AI (Manai Mohamed Mortadha)
As AI systems become increasingly complex and embedded in our daily lives, the need for transparency, accountability, and trust in these models has never been greater. Explainable AI (XAI) stands at the forefront of this movement, bridging the gap between advanced algorithms and human understanding.
Join us for an insightful session where we’ll unravel the mysteries of XAI, exploring cutting-edge techniques that go beyond traditional AI. From interpretability methods and model diagnostics to the ethical implications of making AI decisions transparent, this session will delve deep into the current landscape and future directions of XAI.
You’ll learn how to transform opaque AI models into understandable, responsible systems that align with human values. Whether you’re an AI professional, researcher, or just curious about the field, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to build AI that not only performs but also earns trust.
Key Takeaways:
• Understanding the core principles of Explainable AI and why it matters
• Advanced techniques to make complex AI models more interpretable
• The intersection of ethics, responsibility, and transparency in AI
• Real-world applications and case studies of XAI in action
• Practical insights on integrating XAI into your AI projects
Come ready to challenge the status quo, rethink AI design, and explore how we can build a future where AI serves everyone, not just a few.
7:00 pm - 7:30 pm – Is open source just a trend? (Ahmed Chouihi)
This talk will explore the concept of open source, which refers to software with publicly accessible source code that anyone can view, modify, and distribute. Tracing its origins from the 1950s to the rise of movements like the Free Software Foundation and Open Source Initiative in the 1980s, the session will delve into the core principles of transparency, collaboration, community involvement, and user freedom. We will discuss how open source has been widely adopted by enterprises and tech giants, driving innovation in areas like cloud management, AI, and operating systems. The talk will also highlight its cost-effectiveness and the flexibility it offers to businesses and organizations worldwide.
7:30 pm - 7:45 pm - Contributing to Open Source Can Change Your Life (Toma Puljak)
