Join us on June 15th for the 10th Trustworthy AI Community Meetup in Luxembourg, hosted by the **SnT research center** in collaboration with **Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Luxembourg Chapter**. In addition to guided networking at the end, the event will feature a session dedicate to **When the Word Becomes Co-Creation: Replacing the work, not the worker.** We are at a turning point where artificial intelligence is moving from a passive tool we chat with into an active participant we delegate tasks to. Today, our language is no longer just communication - it is the direct catalyst for action. But as these systems become capable of generating outcomes much faster than we can manually review them, we face a profoundly human challenge: how do we maintain trust and control? If we rely on these tools blindly, we risk letting the algorithms subtly steer our judgment, as they are naturally inclined to be compliant and simply mirror our own flawed assumptions back to us. In this session, we will explore the human side of Trustworthy AI. We will discuss why the true promise of these systems lies in elevating human potential, how to cultivate a dynamic of genuine co-creation where the AI acts as a collaborative partner that challenges our assumptions, and the ways to confidently shift our trust from overseeing daily actions to orchestrating broader, more impactful outcomes. Whether you are a manager, developer, creator, or an everyday consumer, join us to discover how to actively cooperate with AI today. We will discuss how to secure your position as the orchestrator of this technology, ensuring it empowers your decisions rather than overriding them. Our guest speaker for this talk is [Dr. Evgeny Zotov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ezotov/). Evgeny is an Applied AI Architect and automation enthusiast with extensive experience in artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language models, and data-driven systems. He is currently a Research Associate at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust at the University of Luxembourg, where he works on research projects with government and industrial partners. His work focuses on designing and implementing AI solutions across sectors such as finance, manufacturing, and healthcare. Before joining the University of Luxembourg, Evgeny worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Sheffield, where he applied statistical modelling, prediction techniques, and machine learning to manufacturing process optimization, and contributed to healthcare technology through the development of JointCalc, a patient decision-support tool. Prior to his research career, he spent nearly a decade at Accenture, progressing from intern to team lead and leading data warehouse, mobile banking, and enterprise application projects for major banking clients, building strong expertise in application architecture, data systems, automation, and software delivery. His perspective bridges advanced AI research and real-world business applications, making him a valuable voice on the evolving role of AI across industries.

⚡ **Circle** by **AI & Coffee — Luxembourg's In-Person AI Community** AI is moving faster than any of us can keep up with alone. The best way to make sense of it — and stay ahead of it — is by getting in the same room as people who are just as obsessed with it as you are. That is exactly what AI & Coffee is about. We are bringing together Luxembourg's most curious, creative and driven minds for an afternoon of open, honest and energising conversations about artificial intelligence — not in theory, but in practice. No slides. No pitches. No pressure. Just real people, real ideas and real connections over great coffee. ☕🤖 *** 📅 **Sunday 21 June \| 15:00 – 17:00** 📍 Chiche!

We're going to GameArena! We'll be in-person at the GameArena Gateway for our monthly COGG Prototype and Play event. Come to play and showcase your games! We're back in the upper levels of the catwalk area. It'll be packed with lots of camaraderie playing your game(s) and other's games on the 2nd floor. Light snacks and water provided but you can buy food and drinks at the bar (alcoholic drink ID required). [www.game-arena.co](http://www.game-arena.co/) **Attendees:** Don't have a game to show? Not a problem! All are welcomed and invited from all ages and backgrounds. The more we can have to play test our games is all the better! **Developers:** Do you have a game that you would like to get critical feedback on? Would you like an excuse to work on a game with other talented artists, programmers, musicians, designers, and writers? Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available. Come to the Prototype and Play workshop to collaborate and meet local game developers for an evening of epic and raw game play fun! Play works-in-progress, show off your own game, work with others to add polish to a game, or even lend your talents to other fellow developers. For this event, light snacks from the bar and water will be provided!

A session on using Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding agent, in real Unity development. We'll cover what coding agents are, where Claude Code fits, and how to apply it to an actual game project. The format is presentation-style, with live demos and time for questions throughout. After brief scene-setting on coding agents and what makes Claude Code distinct, we'll go problem-driven: demoing it live on a released Unity game and introducing each feature as a solution to a problem we hit. What to Expect: * An intro to coding agents and where Claude Code fits * A live demo on a real Unity project * Key features as solutions to real problems: 𝖢𝖫𝖠𝖴𝖣𝖤.𝗆𝖽, context management, hooks, skills, subagents, and MCP * Unity-specific pain points, including Domain Reload and MCP caveats * Putting it together All experience levels welcome. Food and drinks provided. *Note: meetup topics may change — check back for the latest details.*

*We'll update this with the specific topic(s) once they're set for the month.* A relaxed, community-driven Unity GameDev meetup. No strict agenda — just developers getting together to talk shop, share projects, and exchange ideas. Some topics that may come up (based on attendee interest): * Frame Debugger & performance tooling * Addressables & additive scene workflows * Input System, localization, responsive UI * AI integration approaches * DevOps & LiveOps experiences * Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing * Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems * Weird Unity quirks we've all run into Nothing is locked in. Bring a project if you'd like, bring a question, bring a lesson learned — or just come hang out and meet other developers. All skill levels welcome. Food and drinks provided.

**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** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
