Zurich Language AI meetup #21
**Update: We’re fully booked and running a waitlist.**
Get ready for the 21st edition of our community event for language AI and NLP experts and enthusiasts – with a **NEW LOCATION** at [Riffraff Kino/Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/g61d4Zmmjj7iCcu59)!
🧠 **3 straight-to-the-point talks** by experienced experts
🥂 **Casual networking** over drinks and snacks
📍 **NEW location:** [Riffraff Kino/Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/g61d4Zmmjj7iCcu59), Neugasse 57, 8005 Zurich
🎟 **Capacity:** 100 seats
**Schedule**
6:30 pm – Doors open and registration
7:00 pm – Presentations
🔹 **Overcorrection: Why LLMs Can't *Just* Proofread – and How to Fix It**
*[Heejin Do](https://www.linkedin.com/in/heejin-do-969bb3231/), Postdoctoral Fellow at ETH AI Center*
LLMs often over-edit text, sacrificing original meaning for fluency. This talk introduces PoCO, a two-stage method that harnesses 'intentional overcorrection' to catch more errors while using smaller models to restore accuracy and precision.
**🔹 Why Translation AI Fails (Even Though It Works)**
*[Christian Weih-Sum](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianweihsum/), Managing Director at foryouandyourcustomers*
The quality of modern translation AI is no longer the main issue. In practice, deployments fall short not because of models, but because of processes, roles, and decision-making. This impulse explores the non-technical challenges that decide whether translation AI becomes a competitive advantage—or another missed opportunity.
**🔹 Privacy vs Utility: The Anonymisation Tradeoff in Language AI Workflows**
*[Michael Anthony Mazourik](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mazourik/), Founder and CEO at AI4Privacy*
Every AI workflow leaks data it shouldn't. But most anonymisation tools either destroy context or miss entities entirely. To tackle this, AI4privacy built p5y, an open-source privacy framework modelled on i18n, that treats privacy as a language-level translation task. The talk covers reversible masking, synthetic identity generation, and policy-driven access control in production translation pipelines. No theory, just live examples of what actually works.
8:00 pm – Drinks reception

Was kommt nach der Arbeit? KI, Sinn und die Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft
Künstliche Intelligenz und Robotik stehen erst am Anfang – und doch ist absehbar, dass sie nicht nur einzelne Berufe, sondern ganze Vorstellungen von Arbeit, Leistung und gesellschaftlichem Wert verändern werden.
Wenn Maschinen sowohl geistige als auch körperliche Tätigkeiten übernehmen können, stellt sich eine grundlegende Frage: **Was bedeutet es dann noch, Mensch zu sein – und wie organisieren wir Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft?**
In dieser Diskussionsrunde wollen wir weniger über Technik sprechen, sondern über **gesellschaftliche Folgen**:
* Welche Werte würden in einer Post-AI-Welt zählen?
* Ist eine Gesellschaft ohne ökonomischen Zwang wünschenswert?
* Wie sieht eine mögliche **Post-Work- oder Post-AI-Gesellschaft** aus
* Wie verhält es sich mit Macht, Verteilung von Eigentum und Sinn
Geht uns die Arbeit aus – oder gewinnen wir Freiheit?
Stehen wir vor sozialem Zerfall oder vor einer neuen Form von Wohlstand?
Und sind wir kulturell überhaupt darauf vorbereitet?
Diese Diskussion richtet sich an alle, die sich für **Gesellschaft, Politik, Ethik und Zukunftsfragen** interessieren – ganz ohne technisches Vorwissen.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
