This session focuses on the unique linguistic, cultural, and technical challenges of developing NLP tools for regional languages—particularly those spoken across the Balkans. As large language models continue to shape global communication, there’s a growing need to ensure that smaller and morphologically rich languages are not left behind. Join us to explore how researchers and practitioners are working to build inclusive, high-impact language technologies that reflect the diversity of the region and empower local communities—while also addressing universal challenges in multilingual AI.

Autonomous Driving

Breakout Session

Description: Autonomous driving technology is at the forefront of transforming the automotive industry by developing vehicles capable of navigating without human intervention. This technology relies heavily on artificial intelligence, sensor fusion, and advanced algorithms to interpret and respond to real-world driving conditions. The goal is to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion, and provide mobility solutions for those unable to drive. Autonomous driving encompasses various levels, from driver assistance systems to fully autonomous vehicles, each requiring rigorous testing and validation to ensure safety and reliability.

12:00 – 12:15 Pixels-to-Steering: End-to-End AD Without the Hype

Arjun Jain
Founder and Chief Scientist @ Fast Code AI Consult Pvt Ltd

End-to-end (E2E) models promise faster iteration by learning directly from video to controls, trimming glue code and labels – but safety, interpretability, and evaluation don’t disappear; they just move. In this 15-minute breakout, we’ll demystify “pure” vs. “modular E2E,” show where E2E reshapes your stack (data ops, middle-layer “wiretap” interfaces), and offer a crisp pilot checklist. If you are building automated driving, you’ll leave with a 90-day plan to trial E2E alongside your modular stack, clear guardrails for verification and drift, and the metrics that matter (OOS/OOD routing, long-tail coverage, scenario-level success) so your demo actually scales to streets.

AI in Labor – Human vs Machine

Breakout Session

As AI systems increasingly enter the workforce, the line between human and machine capabilities is rapidly shifting. This session explores the evolving dynamics of labor in the age of automation—where AI augments human skills, replaces certain roles, and creates entirely new ones. Join us to discuss the ethical, economic, and social implications of AI in the workplace, and what the future of work really looks like when humans and machines coexist.

AI in EdTech

Breakout Session

Description: AI in EdTech is transforming education by providing personalized learning, automated assessment, and increased student engagement. In this session, we will explore practical AI tools and strategies that enable educators to tailor instruction to individual needs, accelerate the grading process, and offer real-time feedback. We will also delve into the use of generative AI technology in scientific writing, highlighting how researchers can boost productivity through effective use of AI tools and prompt engineering. We’ll discuss new educational models that produce interdisciplinary experts prepared for the digital economy, as well as the impact of AI on non-technical professions. Ethical considerations and the promotion of inclusive education will be integral parts of the discussion, ensuring the responsible application of AI in educational settings. Join us to discover how AI is shaping the future of learning and work.

12:00 – 12:15 Looping AI into Education

Milan Simic
Executive Director @ Petlja Fondacija

Petlja Foundation (Loop Foundaiton) has been systematically exploring the application of artificial intelligence in education for over two years. Starting from initial support for teachers in lesson preparation, our work has expanded to the development of tools for strengthening soft skills, as well as the integration of AI technologies into new methodological approaches to learning. The latest project involves comparing the quality of open large language models in educational scenarios in Serbian, and improving the best model while creating open infrastructure for the entire process. Our goal is to increase the sustainability of using AI-based tools for all educators.

Prompt-Engineering

Breakout Session

Description: Prompt engineering is a key technique in natural language processing (NLP) that involves designing and optimizing prompts to guide AI models in generating the desired outputs. This practice is essential for improving the performance of AI in tasks such as text generation, question answering, and data extraction. Effective prompt engineering requires a deep understanding of the model’s behavior and the ability to iteratively refine prompts to achieve the best results.
