Confluence @ EPFL: from Odersky's "end of programming?" keynote to delegating authority to misaligned agents, reasoning in brains vs machines, learning in markets and contract sequencing. Two tracks, many fields, one workshop. 👉 confluence2026.epfl.ch #IC #Confluence@EPFL #AI
Today, we are at a keynote called "The end of programming?" by Martin Odersky. It tackles the safety risks of autonomous code generation and how type systems must evolve to contain AI agents. If AI writes the software, what role do humans play, and what keeps systems safe? #EPFL #IC #Programming
Last Saturday, we celebrated more than 300 new IC graduates at the Magistrale ceremony! It was a day filled with joy, gratitude, and lots of unforgettable moments. Congratulations to all graduates and we wish you the best of luck for your next adventures! #EPFL #Graduation #Magistrale #IC
