Sameer Honwad
Move Slow and Build Community, Abstract: Socio-emotional learning (SEL) and reflection are foundational components of quality education, yet they remain underrepresented in many school curricula. Reflection supports scientific thinking and inquiry, while SEL equips students with the emotional resilience needed to take risks, embrace failure, and navigate the uncertainties inherent in learning and innovation. Together, these competencies are essential not only for academic and professional growth, but for everyday wellbeing.Implementing SEL and reflective practices in rural India presents distinct challenges. Limited access to trained professionals and consistent resources is compounded by cultural stigma around openly discussing emotions, barriers that make it difficult for students to develop these critical skills in traditional school settings.
To address this gap, we designed a conversational chatbot tailored for students in rural India, providing a low-barrier, accessible space for daily…

Royal Hansen
AI and Cybersecurity: Building Self-Defending Systems through Biological Blueprints, Abstract: By applying biological concepts like evolutionary arms races to cybersecurity, this presentation argues for the creation of autonomous, self-defending AI systems capable of automatically discovering and patching vulnerabilities, provided these agents are strictly constrained by safety frameworks, sector-specific guardrails, and broad industry collaboration.
Bio: Royal Hansen is a Vice President of Engineering at Google. Most recently, he led the Privacy, Safety and Security team (the CISO for Alphabet), which is the central engineering function that builds and scales the foundational technology that keeps billions of people safe online.
Over the last several years, Royal and his team have focused on cybersecurity threat detection, analysis and counterabuse, building advanced AI/ML security technologies, and protecting privacy, identity and data. He continues to work on safety innovations across…
