When code becomes commoditized, what actually gets protected? RSVP Link - [https://luma.com/0ktn86g3](https://luma.com/0ktn86g3) This is an in-person panel discussion hosted at a Dipchand Law office, bringing together experts from legal, AI, and strategy domains to explore how intellectual property is evolving in the age of AI-assisted development and “vibe coding.” **Why this matters:** AI tools are rapidly commoditizing software development. The barrier to building products is dropping, shifting the focus from writing code to owning ideas, data, and systems. This creates new challenges around ownership, licensing, and long-term defensibility. **Key discussion areas:** * Whether code still holds value as intellectual property * Ownership of AI-generated code and outputs * What developers and companies should protect beyond code (data, workflows, architecture) * Enterprise risks including compliance, governance, and data exposure * How organizations build defensibility when building becomes easy **Speakers:** **Stephano Salani** Intellectual Property Lawyer, Dipchand LLP **Yulia Pavlova, PhD** Applied AI and Governance Leader, RBC Borealis AI **Mohit Rajhans** AI Consultant, ThinkStart.ca **Event details:** Date: May 20, 2026 Time: 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM EDT Location: Dipchand LLP Office, Toronto, ON **What to expect:** Panel discussion, networking, and Q&A session **RSVP** - [https://luma.com/0ktn86g3](https://luma.com/0ktn86g3)

Flora Tristan, the first European writer to connect socialism and feminism, has long been neglected as a systematic thinker. This talk reads her The Workers’ Union and other writings through the lens of a political economy of care. It argues that Tristan takes the need for care work in the family seriously, while also calling for institutional care for the young, sick, and elderly. While her gendered views from the early 19th century assume that much of this care work, especially in families, would be done by women, the systematic core of her arguments can be separated from these historical layers. Ultimately, Tristan provides a political economy perspective in which economic and political rights are closely interwoven, but in which unpaid care work, in the family and beyond, is always part of the picture. Lisa Herzog https://www.rug.nl/staff/l.m.herzog/cv?lang=en Professor of Political Philosophy, Dean Faculty of Philosophy University of Groningen **About the Speaker:** Lisa Herzog works at the intersection of political philosophy and economic thought. She has held her position at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Groningen since 2019. Between 2021 and 2025, she was the Directer of the Center for Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and since January 2023, she is Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy. She holds a master (Diplom) in economics from LMU Munich, and an M.St. in Philosophy and D.Phil. in Political Theory from the University of Oxford, where she was a Rhodes Scholar. Herzog has published on the philosophical dimensions of markets (both historical and systemical), liberalism and social justice, ethics in organizations, and the future of work. The current focus of her work are workplace democracy, professional ethics, and the role of knowledge in democracies. She is a co-editor of the interdisciplinary journal [Review of Social Economy.](https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rrse20/current) Her forthcoming monograph is entitled [ ](https://www.rug.nl/staff/l.m.herzog/citizen-knowledge.pdf)*[Citizen Knowledge.

About the Centre for Ethics (http://ethics.utoronto.ca): The Centre for Ethics is an interdisciplinary centre aimed at advancing research and teaching in the field of ethics, broadly defined. The Centre seeks to bring together the theoretical and practical knowledge of diverse scholars, students, public servants and social leaders in order to increase understanding of the ethical dimensions of individual, social, and political life. In pursuit of its interdisciplinary mission, the Centre fosters lines of inquiry such as (1) foundations of ethics, which encompasses the history of ethics and core concepts in the philosophical study of ethics; (2) ethics in action, which relates theory to practice in key domains of social life, including bioethics, business ethics, and ethics in the public sphere; and (3) ethics in translation, which draws upon the rich multiculturalism of the City of Toronto and addresses the ethics of multicultural societies, ethical discourse across religious and cultural boundaries, and the ethics of international society.

Lab at the Centre For Ethics recently appeared on a list of 10 organizations leading the way in ethical A.I.: https://ocean.sagepub.com/blog/10-organizations-leading-the-way-in-ethical-ai

**NO PHILOSOPHY EXPERTISE REQUIRED!** **🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?mode=gi_t), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:30-19:45 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 19:45-19:55 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:55-21:15 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 21:15-21:30 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:30 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy is operated entirely on voluntary donations! If we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Donations are 100% voluntary, but they help us to bring the gift of deep conversation to people around the world. If you'd like to support, you can [donate here](https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-practical-philosophy)! (Practical Philosophy is a registered Canadian charity) **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it. * **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * **Is it mostly men that attend?** Surprisingly, no! Although often, philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * **Can I come alone?** Of course you can, we encourage it :) * **Can I be late?** Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * **Where do you meet?** The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?mode=gi_t) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group!

Our next Vaughan Investors Club event is coming up — and this one dives into a topic more investors are seriously exploring right now: investing in the U.S. and how it compares to Canada. 📅 Wednesday, May 20, 2026 🕡 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM 📍 Aloft Hotel — 151 Bass Pro Mills Dr, Vaughan, ON L4K 0E6 🎟️ FREE Event — yes, completely free. Register on Eventbrite **[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988438255349](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988438255349)** We’re excited to welcome **Erwin Szeto** as our main speaker. Erwin Szeto helps Canadians simplify the path to financial freedom through a practical three-pillar approach to wealth: investing in landlord-friendly U.S. real estate through scalable models, deploying capital into the stock market with a disciplined 25% down strategy, and using life insurance to create tax-efficient, tax-free cash flow in retirement. Over the course of his career, Erwin has been involved in nearly $500 million in income property transactions, giving him deep, real-world insight into what actually works — and what doesn’t — when it comes to building long-term wealth. He is a 4-time Realtor of the Year to Investors in Ontario and the host of a top-ranked business podcast, where he interviews high-level investors and breaks down strategies in a way that’s practical and actionable. **Topics We’ll Cover:** • How to buy off-market deals and pay under market value • How to invest like Wall Street — while owning and controlling 100% of the asset • How to invest in real estate passively (without leaving your home) • How technology and AI are opening doors once only available to ultra-wealthy investors • What this means for your strategy moving forward Whether you’re curious about cross-border investing, looking for better returns, or just want to understand where the smart money is going — this session will shift how you think about investing. Seats are limited. Register on Eventbrite to secure your spot. We look forward to seeing you there. **[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988438255349](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988438255349)**

Everyone is shipping "AI-powered" security. Almost no one is honest about where it works and where it guesses. This month, two DC416 organizers run the same fight from opposite corners. The Thursday talk frames it. The Friday workshop puts it in your hands. THE TALK Amir Hosseinpour covers offense. A year of pointing AI at real production code, plus everything DC416 has tried as a community. Where it actually finds bugs, where it just burns tokens and lies to you about it, and the scaffolding that gets any frontier model behaving the same way regardless of vendor. Cost numbers. The kind that make you reconsider whether that last scan was worth it. And an honest answer to when you should put the LLM down and read the code yourself. KC Udonsi covers defense. Most blue-team tooling was built assuming a human reads every alert. AI breaks that assumption in ways that are not obvious until something goes wrong. KC built his own AI-native breach detector and is running it live, in the room, against real attack data from a Wizard Spider emulation. Not a vendor demo. His own code, real data, in front of the audience. THE SPEAKERS Amir Hosseinpour — DC416 Co-Organizer Drives DC416's offensive AI experiments. Spends his weeks pointing frontier models at real production code, real CVEs, and real bug bounty surface, and writing down what actually moves the needle versus what just burns money. KC Udonsi — DC416 Co-Organizer CISSP. University of Toronto Computer Science. Co-creator of OpenSecurityTraining2's Vulnerabilities 1001 class. Inventor on a TD Bank patent for continuous verification and response platforms. Current focus: AI-native application security and where automation earns its keep on defense. DETAILS Date: Thursday, May 21, 2026 Doors open: 6:15 PM Talk starts: 6:45 PM Location: downtown Toronto, hosted by Stan **Cost: Free RSVP Here: https://events.defcontoronto.ca** WORKSHOP FOLLOW-UP Friday, May 22 — hands-on workshop, 10 AM to 3 PM, hosted by Palo Alto Networks downtown Toronto. Five hours, three mentors (Amir, KC, and Jeet). Build a red-teaming agent from scratch in the offense half, then flip sides and build the core of an AI-native breach detector in the defense half. Bring a laptop. AI access is provided. Only 50 spots available. **Cost: Free RSVP Here: https://events.defcontoronto.ca** SPONSORS Huge thank you to Stan, Palo Alto Networks, and White Tuque for making this possible.

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/xwjDdVSw3E **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.
