It AI-n't What You Think!

Tue, 22 April

Innovations have transformed human lives in ways that make us wonder how people managed before. Yet, despite these advancements, we often resist embracing innovations—and in many cases, we probably should. Today, we stand at the crossroads of yet another major technological revolution in our field: artificial intelligence.

In this keynote, we’ll explore how to navigate the AI wave and harness its potential, rather than being swept away by it. You’ll learn why some innovations are worth adopting, the role of skepticism in tech, and how to stay ahead by integrating AI into your work effectively and strategically.

Join us to understand how to ride the AI innovation wave and keep control of your future.

Target Audience: This keynote is designed for tech leaders, software developers, architects, and innovation enthusiasts who want to explore the broader impact of AI on industries, technologies, and human workflows. It will provide insights on how to embrace AI strategically, making it relevant for anyone interested in the future of tech innovation.
