En busca de una AI inclusiva
Description
La inteligencia artificial está creando nuevas oportunidades para mejorar la vida de las personas en todo el mundo, haciendo grandes aportes en diferentes campos como pueden ser la sanidad o la educación. ¿Pero qué pasaría si estos algoritmos estuviesen aprendiendo a ser injustos? El efecto podría ser catastrófico y a gran escala. Por ejemplo, un sistema de búsqueda de trabajo podría favorecer a los candidatos masculinos para realizar entrevistas, o asumir pronombres femeninos al traducir palabras como "enfermera" o "secretaria". Por ello, es necesario alzar la voz para trabajar hacia sistemas que sean justos e inclusivos para tod@s de forma que se logre asegurar que un sistema será justo e inclusivo en todas las situaciones. Esto es un desafío a día de hoy en el campo de la inteligencia artificial, acentuado en gran medida porque no hay una definición de qué es justo y qué no. En esta sesión veremos los principales problemas asociados al sesgo de los datos y cómo se pueden llegar a construir modelos que sean éticos, justos e interpretables.

Unlock your Superpowers: Understanding Cloud Application Models
Description
Do you find going from development to production frustrating and error-prone? How do you go from “it works on my machine” to running in the cloud. This talk will provide a systematic approach to understanding cloud runtimes and the formats they use like Dockerfiles, or Kubernetes manifests. With a little knowledge, the techniques we use to break down complex business problems can do the same for designing applications that work when deployed. We’ll use examples in ASP.NET Core to motivate the use cases and understand how the concepts are layered.
