Bridging the Gap Between AI and Reality • Rhodes, Greece
Time: Tuesday, 4.11
Room: Room C
Authors: Barbara Steffen
Abstract: AI isn’t a strategy - it’s a tool. Too many organizations (mistakenly) chase hype, not outcomes. This talk flips the script: start with the why, then engineer the how. The talk shares a crisp decision framework to pinpoint high-value problems, derive the corresponding AI capabilities, and bake in IP safety, compliance, ethics, and risk controls from day one. Learn how to define success metrics, avoid shiny pilots, and scale only what delivers measurable impact. Attendees leave with a playbook to prioritize use cases, align stakeholders, and implement AI deliberately - effective, compliant, and built to last.
