In my talk I will argue that we can do much better by relying in a systematic way on types and capabilities.

AI agents are taking over many tasks that required humans before. This could be very good for productivity but how can we possibly trust our agents? There are a multitude of known ways an agent could go wrong, including prompt injections or plain hallucinations. The current techniques to control agent behavior are patchy and rudimentary, they certainly don't instill trust.
In my talk I will argue that we can do much better by relying in a systematic way on types and capabilities. We can use them to make not only bad states but also bad actions unrepresentable. This points us to a possible future where an inherently untrustworthy LLM agent can be trusted to stay within defined parameters when put in the right environment.
Protobuf is commonly associated with code generation. However, in large projects with tens of thousands of message definitions, this approach can lead to an overwhelming amount of generated code. In this talk, I’ll share my journey in search of a different approach to this problem.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with Scalar community and create lasting memories!
In this talk, I will present insights from running the Open Community Build, where we continuously build and migrate nearly 2,000 open-source projects to the newest Scala Next versions, from scratch, every week.
Writing client-facing APIs involves mundane tasks, whether it be REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. In this talk, I will pick two repetitive tasks during API development and demonstrate how we can utilize Scala to automate the most boring parts.
For nearly a decade, Scala's concurrency has been driven by Akka, Cats Effect and ZIO, each with its own vision for purity, safety, and pragmatism. Kyo enters this incredible ecosystem with a fresh perspective.This talk provides a critical, technical comparison of these systems through a unified framework.
