ABSTRACT
The user interface—what connects you, me, and the digital world—has evolved remarkably from 2D GUIs with keyboards and mice to multi-touch, wearables, and now spatial computing (AR/VR/XR), reaching billions of people worldwide. Major shifts in interface paradigms are rare and often occur only once in decades, yet we may be on the cusp of one that could fundamentally transform everything we do with our hands on computers.
In this talk, I will trace this evolution and introduce Eye-Hand Symbiosis—my decade-long vision and research project exploring the fusion of eyes and hands for interaction. It is showing first signs of becoming reality, and I will share where this path might lead in the years ahead. [...]

DESCRIPTION
Joanna Bryson challenges many popular assumptions about AI and AGI. She argues that current generative AI systems are not autonomous intelligences but powerful tools that compress and reproduce human cultural knowledge at scale. While these systems can appear intelligent, they remain dependent on human-created data, corporate incentives, and carefully engineered guardrails. Bryson cautions against anthropomorphizing AI and emphasizes that many concerns about AI stem from misunderstandings about how these systems actually work.
The discussion ultimately centers on responsibility and governance. Bryson argues that transparency, accountability, and democratic oversight matter far more than debates about machine consciousness. Whether discussing AI companions, recommendation algorithms, open-source models, regulation, or AI-assisted software development, her conclusion remains consistent: technology is not destiny. Engineers, companies, policymakers, and citizens all have agency in shaping how AI is deployed, regulated, and integrated into society. [...]

ABSTRACT
How a Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) approach can speed up writing, running and debugging tests.
Testing is a Good Thing, right?
Especially automated testing. But Good things come to those who wait is not something thats going to appeal to the busy developer. You want results, and you want them now. Youre in The Zone working on a problem, and the last thing you want is to break your flow wrestling with your testing framework or waiting for the tests to finish running.
More code means more tests. More coverage means more tests. More tests mean more time. Time that you want to spend being productive, creative, innovative. How can you balance the need for quality with the need for speed?
In this talk, Trisha will identify issues that slow down developers when writing, running and debugging tests, and look at tools that can help developers with each of these problems. There will be live coding, analysis of social media poll results, an overview of solutions in this space, best practice recommendations, and machine learning will be mentioned at some point. [...]

ABSTRACT
We all have important questions about the data around us: What should I work on this week?, Hows my side project doing?, Is anyone waiting on me to email them? These are perfect questions from a human perspective - natural language queries that get to the heart of what we actually want to know. But until recently, automating these kinds of questions was impossible. Theyre too ambiguous, they need domain-specific knowledge and external tools to even begin to form an answer. MCP changes that.
By building a simple server for your personal questions, you can literally ask What issues should I look at? and get sensible, accurate answers. Spend a couple of hours building your own oracle, and instead of combing through Jira manually, you could be making coffee while a machine does the research for you. In this talk, well dive into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) - a surprisingly simple JSON-RPC mechanism that gives AI tools focused access to your data.
Youll learn how to wrap existing functions or external APIs as MCP endpoints, turning any data source into something AI can query on your behalf. Well walk through real examples of building agentic access to databases and REST APIs, discuss security considerations, and show the easiest way to build your personal MCP server from scratch.
By the end, youll have everything needed to build a personalised MCP server. Youll understand the protocol, see practical implementation patterns, and leave with ideas for automating your workload. Whatever data you have, youll be able to create AI tools that understand your context and answer the questions that actually matter to you. [...]

ABSTRACT
Ecoacoustics is transforming how we explore and understand our natural world by capturing the rich soundscape of our environment, from the songs of birds and the calls of frogs to the deep bellows of koalas. We’ve built the Australian Acoustic Observatory, a continent-wide network of hundreds of autonomous sound recorders, collecting the equivalent of over a thousand years of continuous audio.
In this talk, I’ll share our journey of listening to nature at scale — and how we’re harnessing the power of cloud computing and artificial intelligence to reveal the health of Australia’s ecosystems. [...]

ABSTRACT
The rise of AI agents promises a new era of automation and intelligence, but what happens when these powerful entities are weaponised?
This talk dives into the chilling reality of hackbots, the sinking of vibe coded apps and ship-it mentality and the iceberg that is the emerging AI attack surface, that we are only just seeing the tip of. If you feel overwhelmed about AI security and you’re not sure where to even begin with AI agents, this talk will cover everything you need to know about how AI agents are being employed, hacked and exploited with real examples of real attacks, vulnerabilities and issues.

ABSTRACT
WebAssembly started as a technology tailored to web browsers and is becoming popular as a server-side technology as well. The next step is for Wasm to become a powerful tool for cloud-native applications. When combined with Kubernetes, WebAssembly can revolutionize application deployment, security, and resource efficiency in ways traditional containers cannot.
This talk explores why and how to leverage WebAssembly within Kubernetes environments to create scalable, high-performance, and secure applications. [...]

ABSTRACT
The developer landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. What began with coding assistants has rapidly evolved into AI agents and autonomous systems that are reshaping how we build software. However, this evolution isnt slowing down—its accelerating.
In this forward-looking session, well examine the current state of the developer ecosystem and how AI is fundamentally changing what it means to be a developer. With the use of real practical demos and examples we will explore :
• The trajectory from coding assistants to AI agents.
• How modern developer workflows are being reimagined
• The shifting balance between human creativity and machine capabilities
• Critical skills developers need to thrive in this new paradigm
• Practical strategies for navigating this rapidly evolving landscape
Whether youre concerned about keeping pace with change or excited about the possibilities ahead, this session is for you. [...]

ABSTRACT
Let’s be honest, the tech we use today is amazing, but it can also be complex.
It’s only natural that teams want to build platforms that hide this complexity to improve productivity, avoid mistakes, and reduce cognitive load. But they may be misled to believe that the more complexity they hide, the better their platform is. Instead, they end up creating dangerous illusions!
This talk reflects on two decades of building complex distributed systems, highlighting where abstractions helped and where illusions led to major disappointments. [...]
