Talk 1:
"AI Ethics in Software Engineering"
by Moritz Schmidt (Senior Software Developer, OpenValue)
Navigating Morality in Integration Abstract In our ever-evolving world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in shaping our lives and industries. However, as we embrace the power of AI, we must also consider the ethical dilemmas it presents. AI impacts various aspects of our lives, from the way we administer justice to its contributions to healthcare, education, and transportation through self-driving cars. These advancements raise vital ethical questions that deserve our attention. Join us for an exploration of the ethical landscape of Artificial Intelligence in this thought-provoking talk. We will dive into real-world examples of how AI impacts society, discussing instances where AI has both enriched and complicated our lives. We will examine the ethical dilemmas surrounding data privacy, algorithmic fairness, and decision-making in AI systems and investigate emerging regulatory frameworks and the role they play in governing the usage and implementation of AI. We will unravel the complexities of AI ethics, offering insights into how organisations and individuals can navigate this evolving terrain responsibly. Whether you're a developer, design policies, or are simply curious about the ethical dimensions of AI, this talk will provide valuable perspectives on ensuring AI serves humanity's best interests. After this presentation, you will have gained an overview as well as deeper insights into the field of ethical considerations of AI, seeking a path for a responsible and ethically grounded future.

Talk 2:
"Trash Talk - Exploring the JVM memory management" by Gerrit Grunwald (Principal Engineer, Azul Systems)
In the realm of Java programming, understanding memory management and garbage collection mechanisms cannot only be helpful for optimizing performance and resource utilization but also in general will help you to use the right garbage collector for your application. This session will be about memory allocation, object lifecycle, and garbage collection strategies within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Attendees will gain insights into memory allocation strategies, object retention policies, and various garbage collection algorithms like generational and concurrent collection. So when you are interested in getting more knowledge about which garbage collector to use best for your application or about memory management in the JVM, this session is for you.
