Workshop  on Generative AI

Workshop Objectives and Description

This workshop offers a comprehensive journey into the world of Generative AI, blending foundational knowledge with cutting-edge advancements. Participants will begin by exploring core concepts and the historical evolution of generative models, including key architectures like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and transformer-based systems such as GPT and DALL-E. The session will demystify technical aspects like training processes, loss functions, and attention mechanisms, while also addressing practical techniques for fine-tuning pre-trained models to suit industry-specific needs. Ethical considerations take center stage, with discussions on mitigating bias in training data, combating misuse (e.g., deepfakes and misinformation), and adhering to responsible AI frameworks to ensure ethical deployment. Designed for both technical and non-technical audiences, the workshop emphasizes hands-on learning through live demos of tools like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion, collaborative exercises in prompt engineering, and interactive Q&A sessions with experts. Attendees will uncover real-world applications across sectors, from healthcare and entertainment to marketing and education, while gaining insights into emerging trends like multimodal AI and autonomous agents. Career-focused segments highlight growing roles such as AI ethicists and prompt engineers, alongside guidance for navigating the open-source vs. proprietary tool landscape.

Workshop 3 : JIC Capture the Flag (CTF)
Cybersecurity Competition

Event Overview

The Capture the Flag (CTF) Cybersecurity Competition is a dynamic two-day event crafted to immerse participants in an environment that balances competition with collaboration, fostering both individual growth and team synergy. Designed to mirror real-world cybersecurity scenarios, the event challenges participants to tackle hands-on, practical problems across domains such as web security, reverse engineering, cryptography, binary exploitation (PWN), and digital forensics.

Key Features:

  1. Structure & Participation
  • 30 participantsare grouped into teams of 3–5 members, encouraging strategic teamwork and knowledge-sharing.
  • Over two days, teams engage in 60 unique challenges(30 per day), each categorized by difficulty: Easy (50–100 points), Medium (150–200 points), and Hard (250–300 points).
