Presenters
Mattias Andersson, Founder and Architect, Warp Bubble
Drawing from expertise in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), software development, learning science, problem solving, Mattias shares his 25+ years of industry experience and knowledge to lead individuals, teams, and organizations to succeed with tech and beyond. Through his training courses, he has helped cloud engineers learn the technical skills they need to become cloud gurus, and even more through his videos, articles, and speaking appearances.
Artificial Intelligence and especially Generative AI bring with them a maelstrom of legal ramifications. And although these seem like completely new issues, they still have a lot in common with the ones from yesteryear. Mattias will share stories including Selfie Monkeys, One Dollar Trucks (no takesies backsies), and Books Stripped Naked to take a non-lawyer’s whirlwind tour of Intellectual Property law & legal liability and how they interact with advances in Information Technology.
