The One About Safety & Security (Round III)
From detecting online harms to building secure AI agents, learn how multidisciplinary approaches enhance our digital defense systems and witness cutting-edge AI agents in action!
More About the Sharings
Dr Joshua Uyheng will be sharing how social science knowledge enhances computational methods in detecting cyber harms. Learn how this multidisciplinary approach improves tools for detecting online trolling and hate narratives - from feature selection to model optimization. He'll also present practical insights for applying these approaches across social cybersecurity cases.
Nan Hu and Karen Tay from SambaNova Systems will take you behind the scenes of their newly open-sourced Deep Research Agents! See how they optimized for speed, security and cost, tackled development challenges, and watch their agents in action through a live demo!
More About the Speakers
Dr. Joshua Uyheng, an Assistant Professor at Ateneo de Manila University with a Ph.D. in Societal Computing from Carnegie Mellon University, will further explore the bidirectional impact of online harms and real-world events, drawing from studies on the Covid-19 pandemic. He will discuss how offline instability fuels online hate and misinformation, while harmful online narratives, in turn, shape real-world behaviors. His findings highlight the need for effective platform regulation, public communication strategies, and cross-sector collaboration to strengthen resilience against social cyber harms.
