The arconsis team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We hope you take some time to relax and enjoy meaningful moments with your loved ones. We look forward to the exciting challenges that 2025 will bring!

Last week, arconsis once again donated Advent calendars to the children of the @kinder.und.jugend.arche in Karlsruhe und Bretten ✨ The ARCHE in Karlsruhe and Bretten is a non-profit organisation supporting children in emotional and financial need since 2012 in Karlsruhe and since 2019 in Bretten. Its mission is to offer hope for a better future, regardless of background or family circumstances. We are pleased to be able to make at least a small contribution to this worthwhile cause. The children were very happy about the Advent calendars - of course because of the chocolate, but also to know that someone is thinking of them. It's always wonderful to put a smile on a child's face. We wish everyone a wonderful Advent season.

On the 19th of November, Lars Gavris and Adrian Wörle, Software Engineers at arconsis, had the pleasure to give a talk titled "Anonymous and Secure: The Future of Al Usage with De-Identification" at InfoDays conference. Lars and Adrian shared their experiences and insights, focusing on how to anonymize prompt content before sending it to LLMs, ensuring that no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is processed or retained. A key part of their presentation highlighted that their system can operate between the client and the LLM, making it completely transparent to the user. This is achieved by first de-identifying the sensitive information and, after processing by the LLM, re-identifying it on the way back to the client, ensuring secure and efficient Al interactions. A big thanks to InfoDays for the organization! It was a great pleasure to provide our expertise with a fantastic audience.

Meet Our Speakers: Adrian and Lars at the "InfoDay Generative Al für Developer" The German speaking conference "InfoDay Generative Al für Developer" is the three-day online event (18. -20. Nov 2024) for anyone who wants to dive deeper into Generative Al and learn how to effectively integrate it into new and existing business applications. From Agents to Large Language Models, Embeddings, RAG, Fine-Tuning, and Frameworks like Langchain and Llamalndex, all the way to Zero-Shot Prompting-this event offers not only presentations but hands-on implementation and discussions! In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence (Al) and in particular large language models (LLMs) has increased significantly. However, this poses risks to personally identifiable information (PII) as Al systems store input text and use it for future training purposes. Adrian and Lars will showcase in their talk a method to de-identify prompts by replacing sensitive information with neutral, semantically identical data. For this purpose, the input is first anonymized by a self-hosted backend, then passed on to the actual LLM and finally the response is returned to its original form by re-identification and sent to the user. This improves data protection when using external Al services.

Prototyping in VR: looking to the future In the world of IT, prototyping is essential for building digital solutions, helping teams to iterate quickly and reduce costs. But what happens when we move beyond 2D screens to fully immersive 3D spaces like virtual reality (VR)? Current tools struggle to bridge this gap, but Bezi - a new VR design platform - promises to change the game. With features like 3D object creation and interactivity, Bezi brings the simplicity of tools like Figma to the VR world. While there are still challenges, Bezi paves the way for a future where VR design is as intuitive as traditional digital design.
