Al That Watches Movies: Understanding Video with SceneSense
Ever wondered how AI can "watch" a movie and understand its scenes like a human? From identifying actors and locations to searching for specific moments inside a film, SceneSense brings intelligence to video.
In this talk, weâll explore how Sensara Technologies is revolutionizing video retrieval using machine learning. Weâll dive into how AI-powered tagging enables exploratory search, helps video editors, and even automates content creation. We will demo real-time scene search on popular moviesâshowing how AI can find key moments, track actors, and generate meaningful insights from video.
Whether you're an ML enthusiast, a movie buff, or just curious about how AI sees the world, this session will give you a fresh perspective on the future of video intelligence!

Manipulating Al Models: Is It Easier Than You Think
Ever wondered if AI models can be tricked as easily as persuading a friend to share their dessert? From steering chatbots off-course to hijacking image generators, manipulating AI is simpler than you might imagineâand far weirder.
In this talk, weâll uncover how AI systems learn from data (and mischief). Weâll explore real experiments where AI manipulated humans to pick specific choices in games, why chatbots sometimes spiral into nonsensical rants, and how âdata poisoningâ can secretly teach AI using fake answers.
Using playful demos, weâll show how even basic tacticsâlike confusing an AI with contradictory promptsâexploit its âblind spots.â Youâll leave understanding why AI isnât a flawless oracle, but a tool that reflects both our brilliance and our biases.
Whether youâre a tech skeptic, a curious student, or just someone who loves a good digital magic trick, this session will change how you see the algorithms shaping our world!
