  • Governments across Europe are moving beyond digitising services toward embedding Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the core of public administration. This shift is often described as a transition from e-government to “AI government.” But what does this transformation actually involve, and what does it demand from public institutions beyond deploying new technologies? In this talk, the speaker presents insights from a reflexive, empirically grounded framework for AI adoption in the public sector, developed through an in-depth case study of Estonia’s Bürokratt initiative—a national AI-enabled virtual assistant that serves as a single gateway to public services. Rather than treating AI as a standalone tool, the framework examines how AI becomes institutionalised across legal, organisational, operational, and socio-technical dimensions. The session traces Estonia’s trajectory from e-government toward AI government and, conceptually, toward what can be described as an agentic state—a governance model in which AI enables adaptive, data-informed action while remaining embedded in human oversight, legal mandates, and democratic accountability. The focus is not on technological sophistication, but on institutional readiness, inter-agency coordination, human–AI delegation, and the governance conditions under which AI can be scaled responsibly. Drawing on mixed empirical evidence, the talk highlights why many AI initiatives struggle to move beyond pilot phases: regulatory ambiguity, fragmented ownership, workforce capacity gaps, and misalignment between technical ambition and institutional reality. It reframes AI adoption as a multi-phase governance challenge, requiring iterative learning rather than one-off implementation. For policymakers and digital leaders, the session offers a practical lens to assess where their administrations stand—not on an AI maturity curve alone, but on a broader trajectory of governance transformation. The key message is clear: AI does not simply automate government; it reshapes agency, responsibility, and the state’s capacity to act—and must therefore be governed accordingly.
    Strategy

  • As AI-generated content floods every platform, brands are beginning to look and sound the same. This keynote reveals how to break through the noise in a world where algorithms make everything feel uniform and predictable. The central idea: the new competitive advantage isn’t more AI — it’s authenticity, amplified by AI. In an era of polished, machine-generated content, it’s real voices, lived experiences, and imperfect human stories that truly capture attention. This talk explores how companies can: Combine AI efficiency with human empathy Create content people actually feel Build communities rather than passive audiences The result? Brands that remain memorable, trustworthy, and emotionally resonant — even in the loudest digital era we’ve ever seen.
    Innovation

  • AI is reshaping localization, and global companies are already using it in practical, visible ways—from instant translations in user-facing platforms to hybrid workflows where AI handles the first pass and humans ensure accuracy. In this session, the speaker, Silvi Nuñez, will break down how leading brands and agencies are integrating AI into their localization processes. She explains which AI use cases deliver real impact today, what teams need to get right before scaling, and where human input remains essential. Attendees will leave with a clear, realistic view of how to bring AI into their own localization strategy without compromising quality
    Industry

  • Curious about AI but unsure where to begin? In this session, the speaker provides a clear roadmap for building a first AI agent from the ground up. The talk demystifies large language models (LLMs) and their role in today’s AI landscape, then explores the essential building blocks of effective AI interaction: powerful prompting and an understanding of tokens. The audience will discover the robust and accessible tools at their disposal, from low-code automation platforms like n8n to foundational models and agent frameworks. Through live demonstrations, the speaker shows how to construct an agent with the ability to automate complex tasks, instantly summarise critical information, and serve as an invaluable assistant—fundamentally changing how people work. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to integrate and adopt AI automation seamlessly into their own operations.
    Tools

  • Most organisations are stuck in the AI pilot trap: exciting prototypes that never make it into real operations. In this talk, the speaker breaks down the five critical steps that turn AI experiments into sustainable business value. Drawing on dozens of projects in manufacturing, logistics, tourism, and the public sector, the speaker shares a practical framework for identifying high-impact use cases, overcoming organisational resistance, preparing the right data foundations, and driving adoption within teams. The focus is on speed, clarity, and measurable results—not hype. Attendees leave with an understanding of what is necessary to deliver real AI outcomes in months, not years.
    Strategy

  • How do you actually combine automation, AI, and agents in a way that truly works? Join me as I share our firsthand experience navigating this challenge while building solutions for Make, one of the leading AI automation platforms. In this demo-packed session, I’ll walk you through the mistakes, lessons learned, and real use cases that delivered tangible value—giving you practical insights into what it really takes to integrate AI-driven automation effectively.
    Automation

  • How do you select LLMs to deploy on a GPU cluster for hundreds of engineers? LLM benchmark results are proudly published with every new model release — but what’s really behind those numbers? This talk guides you through designing benchmarks that truly measure the real-world problem-solving capabilities of LLMs. We’ll explore methods for evaluating business-relevant LLM skills such as: coding performance, tool usage and API calling, behavior in agentic workflows. After uncovering common flaws in popular benchmarks, we’ll demonstrate alternative techniques for LLM evaluation — including: ground truth-based testing, LLM-as-a-judge, and execution-based validation (e.g., testing LLM-generated code). We’ll also highlight common pitfalls, such as how prompt variations and generation parameters can subtly and silently skew benchmark results. Finally, we’ll provide a practical decision framework to help you choose the right LLM, balancing latency, cost, and output quality. By the end of this talk, you’ll be equipped to go beyond the hype and evaluate LLMs like an engineer — not just by the score.
    Tools

  • AI coding assistants promise to revolutionize developer productivity, yet many engineers struggle to achieve consistent results. The speaker explains that spec-driven development is an emerging development approach that emphasizes defining clear specifications before writing any code, effectively shortening the feedback loop and improving overall development efficiency. This talk looks at how developers can leverage vibe coding for exploration, and then introduce specification-driven development for more rigor. Attendees will see how this approach helps generate more consistent and repeatable outcomes, and they will leave with a better understanding of how spec-driven development might be the missing piece in their workflow
    Industry

  • This session explores the limits of AI in generating original insights and making critical decisions, highlighting where human expertise still matters most. As AI systems become more capable, the role of experienced knowledge workers is evolving — from individual contributors to supervisors of multiple AI agents. Through real-world examples and practical insights, this talk demonstrates how expert oversight remains essential in ensuring accuracy, accountability, and sound judgment in AI-driven environments.
    Strategy

  • AI isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a powerful business lever, when used effectively. In this talk, the speaker draws on experience from 40 real-world AI implementations and hundreds of conversations with companies to show how organisations can approach artificial intelligence without fear — but also without illusions. The audience will learn: Where to start if they haven’t started yet (and how to avoid being paralysed by the flood of new tools) How to make smart decisions when a “better” model or tool appears every week Whether it is really necessary to invest hundreds of thousands of euros before seeing any results (spoiler: not necessarily) Where the biggest return on investment (ROI) actually comes from And whether AI agents are just another hype wave — or a true paradigm shift If organisations want to get started with AI but feel overwhelmed by the chaos — or have already started and are wondering whether they are heading in the right direction — this session is for them. Participants can expect plenty of real-world examples and actionable insights.
    Strategy

  • According to MIT Media Lab (2025), 95% of generative AI (GenAI) projects fail to deliver measurable business returns. Not because the models do not work—they demo beautifully. They fail because organisations skip the fundamentals: clear requirements, stakeholder alignment, and product thinking. In this talk, the speaker challenges the “build a model first” mindset. The session explores why requirements engineering and understanding business value are more critical for AI projects, not less. Participants will learn practical techniques to identify real value and collaborate effectively with stakeholders—defining success before writing a single line of code. With this foundation, the talk examines when proofs of concept (PoCs) are actually needed and how to bridge the dangerous gap between a PoC and a minimum viable product (MVP). But it does not stop there: the speaker asks what a real product strategy looks like and how organisations can move from one-off experiments to a systemic, transformational approach. This talk helps the audience focus on getting value out of solutions—where AI is a powerful tool to achieve outcomes, rather than being the business value itself.
    Automation

  • AI systems are rapidly evolving from passive chat assistants into autonomous agents capable of planning tasks, accessing sensitive data, invoking tools, and executing actions across enterprise environments. This shift fundamentally changes the security model. When AI systems move from generating suggestions to performing actions, they introduce new attack surfaces, privilege escalation paths, and governance challenges that traditional security controls were not designed to handle. In this talk, the speaker examines how agentic AI systems operate from a security perspective and why existing access control, monitoring, and detection approaches break down in the presence of autonomous, probabilistic behavior. The session explores common failure modes such as overprivileged agents, prompt-driven misuse, tool abuse, and the lack of agent-level auditability. Rather than focusing on theoretical risks, the session frames agentic AI as an emerging execution layer that must be governed, monitored, and constrained like any other high-risk system component. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how AI autonomy changes the threat model, along with practical guidance on the security principles required to safely deploy and operate autonomous AI systems in production.
    Innovation

  • Hard crashes are easy: the agent throws an error, you fix it, and you move on. The harder problem is drift—when the agent technically succeeds but slowly stops doing what you meant. Outputs become vaguer, tool choices grow stranger, and costs start to creep up. In this talk, the speaker examines how to detect behavioral drift before users notice, borrowing from process control theory and anomaly detection in industrial systems. The session explores what the benchmark of “normal” actually means, and how to build the feedback loops needed to catch drift early.

  • In this session, Marie Cattelin, Senior Product Owner at Bettermile, presents an end-to-end, real-world case study on building and deploying AI-powered Smart Insights for last-mile operations—moving beyond dashboards to deliver clear, actionable recommendations that actually change user behavior (UK spelling changed to US for consistency; keep original if UK spelling is preferred). Marie’s team faced a common but critical challenge: translating massive volumes of heterogeneous operational data into context-aware productivity insights for depot employees and subcontractors, who neither have the time nor the expertise to analyze (corrected from ""who have neither... to analyse"") charts and tables. Compounding the problem, last-mile operations vary significantly by region, culture, seasonality, and operational model—meaning a “one-size-fits-all” insight simply does not work. The session walks step-by-step through the strategy, trade-offs, and implementation choices behind Bettermile’s Smart Insights initiative: Establishing data reliability and readiness as a prerequisite for AI Designing concise, high-signal summaries that surface the single most impactful operational problem Evaluating architectural choices such as precomputed (corrected from ""pre-computed"") vs. on-demand AI generation, balancing cost, latency, and scalability Navigating constraints around legal frameworks, data governance, and processing costs Ensuring the AI delivers the right recommendation to the right user at the right moment While the product is still evolving, the talk demonstrates how the team measures impact through built-in feedback loops, qualitative user signals, and early adoption metrics—closing the loop between AI output and real operational value. Attendees will leave with a concrete, production-tested blueprint for turning AI from “interesting analytics” into trusted, actionable decision support—without overwhelming users or forcing AI where it doesn’t belong.
