ARES Women*
Session
We are thrilled to announce that the ARES 2023 Conference will host its first-ever Women* Session! This new event will bring together women* from the realms of technology, research, and cybersecurity to share their experiences, insights, and visions. The ARES Women* Session provides a space for exchanging ideas, building connections, and empowering the presence of women* in an industry continuously striving for diversity and inclusivity. Note: By 'Women*', we refer to all individuals who identify as women or define themselves as female. The session is open to all who identify and perceive themselves in this way.

ARES Keynote - Data security and privacy in emerging scenarios The rapid advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been greatly changing our society, with clear societal and economic benefits. Mobile technology, Cloud, Big Data, Internet of things, services and technologies that are becoming more and more pervasive and conveniently accessible, towards to the realization of a ‘smart’ society’. At the heart of this evolution is the ability to collect, analyze, process and share an ever-increasing amount of data, to extract knowledge for offering personalized and advanced services. A major concern, and potential obstacle, towards the full realization of such evolution is represented by security and privacy issues. As a matter of fact, the (actual or perceived) loss of control over data and potential compromise of their confidentiality can have a strong detrimental impact on the realization of an open framework for enabling collection, processing, and sharing of data, typically stored or processed by external cloud services. In this talk, I will illustrate some security and privacy issues arising in emerging scenarios, focusing in particular on the problem of managing data while guaranteeing confidentiality and integrity of data stored or processed by external providers. |

Co-Director LSTS, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Belgium
Session Chair:
Human-Centered AI Lab (Holzinger Group), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Austria CD-MAKE Keynote - Whiteboxing machine learning The deployment of AI systems based on machine learning (ML) in real world scenarios faces a number of challenges due to its black box nature. The GDPR right to an explanation has given rise to frantic attempts to develop and design self-explanatory systems, meant to help people understand their decisions and behaviour. In this keynote I will explain (pun intended) why meaningful explanations require keen attention to the proxies used in ML research design. Once those confronted with the decisions or behaviour of ML systems have a better understanding of the pragmatic choices that must be made to allow a machine to learn, it will become easier to foresee what ML systems can and cannot do. Whiteboxing ML should focus on the proxies that stand for real world events, actions and states of affairs, highlighting that a proxy (dataset, variable, model) is not what it stands for. |
