From E-Government to the Agentic State? What AI Is Really Changing in Public Administration
By Anastasija Nikiforova Professor at University of Tartu (Estonia)

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.

Winning in the Age of AI Noise: How to Stand Out When Everything Sounds the Same
By Aurimas Paulius Gircys Founder of APG MEDIA (Lithuania)

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.

Beyond the Score: Your Guide to Benchmarking LLMs
By Lennard Schiefelbein Senior Consultant at TNG Technology Consulting (Germany), Jonathan du Mesnil de Rochemont Software Consultant at TNG Technology Consulting (Germany)

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.

Before You Hire an AI Agent: What You Need to Know to Achieve Real Results
By Jerzy Biernacki Chief AI Officer at Miquido (Poland)

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.

Stop Building AI Models. Start Building AI Products
By Fabrizio Lazzaretti CNCF Ambassador at Wavestone (Switzerland)

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.

From Chat to Agents: Securing Autonomous AI
By Tal Melamed Early-Stage Advisor at Tego AI (Israel)

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.

AI Agents Drift: Identifying and Correcting Subtle Failures
By Sam Komesarook Head of BD at Laminar (UK)

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.

From Operational Data to Actionable AI: Shipping Smart Insights That Drive Real Productivity
By Marie Cattelin Senior Product Owner at Bettermile (Germany)

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.

From AI Slop to Success: Responsible AI Use in Video Production
By Marina Meli Senior Sales & Marketing Operations Specialist at LeanIT LTD (Greece)

In a moment when AI-generated video is widely criticized as “AI slop,” it is, paradoxically, also being watched, shared, and created at an unprecedented scale. This talk explores that contradiction—and argues that the real issue is not the use of AI itself, but the absence of intention, authorship, and responsibility behind much of the content produced. In Beyond AI Slop, speaker Marina Meli examines how and when AI should be used in video to enhance business value without eroding trust or meaning. Drawing on her background in Psychology and Filmmaking, alongside hands-on experience in B2B IT sales and corporate video production, she approaches AI not only as a technological tool, but as a medium that shapes perception, attention, and audience trust. The session presents real-world case studies from B2B technology and corporate environments, including examples from cybersecurity, enterprise IT, and AI-enabled sales environments, walking through the original communication challenge, the AI-assisted workflow design and tool choices, and the resulting impact on production speed, message clarity, and sales enablement. Marina introduces a clear ethical framework grounded in both human psychology and filmmaking practice, helping organizations distinguish between AI that amplifies human intent and AI that merely substitutes it. She connects questions of authorship, authenticity, and responsibility to how audiences cognitively and emotionally process video content—especially in environments saturated with automated media. The talk also includes a practical, easy-to-follow walkthrough of some of the newest and most relevant AI tools used in video creation, demonstrating how they can be integrated into real production workflows in a way that remains transparent and ethical. Crucially, the principles, frameworks, and decision-making processes presented are designed to be transferable across a wide range of AI tools and use cases, and are not limited to video creation alone. Rather than focusing on automation for its own sake, the session highlights where AI meaningfully supports clarity, speed, and accessibility—and where human judgment must remain central. By combining philosophical grounding with practical application, this session shows how ethical AI use can directly enhance sales and business communication—making complex products easier to understand, messages more consistent, and interactions more effective across marketing, sales, and internal teams. Attendees will leave with both conceptual clarity and actionable frameworks, workflow templates, and ethical checkpoints they can apply immediately—without contributing to low-value automated content or triggering reactionary backlash against new technologies.

How to train our own dragon: A competitive sovereign LLM compliant with EU laws and public values
By Lokke Moerel Senior of Counsel Morrison Foerster (Netherlands), Saskia Lensik Product Manager at GPT-NL (Netherlands)

Europe is at a crossroads: should it invest decisively in sovereign, responsible AI, or become increasingly dependent on U.S. Big Tech? The European Commission responded to this challenge on 8 October 2025 with a strong action plan, the “Apply AI Strategy” (see here), whose core objective is the development of sovereign generative AI models that comply with EU law and public values. If the concern is that Big Tech’s large language models (LLMs) do not align with European rules and societal values, Europe must innovate to change this reality. The Dutch government rose to this challenge by awarding a grant to the Dutch National Institute for Applied Science (TNO) to develop a competitive, sovereign Dutch large language model fully compliant with EU legislation and public values: GPT‑NL. In this keynote, the speaker discusses the radically different approach taken—and the associated technical innovations required—to achieve this goal. Early results show: That high‑quality content enables the training of a high‑quality LLM with significantly less data, demonstrating that untargeted scraping of the internet is not a requirement. That GPT‑NL outperforms comparable models in tasks such as text summarization, making it particularly suitable for trust‑critical government applications. GPT‑NL offers a competitive alternative to current practices, where AI models are often trained on scraped internet data without the consent of data subjects or rights holders. Instead: GPT‑NL does not scrape random data from the internet. It is the first model trained exclusively on texts that are either copyright‑free or covered by valid licenses. The Netherlands is also the first country worldwide to reach agreements with all publishers regarding content usage and fair remuneration—demonstrating that innovation and respect for intellectual property rights can coexist. GPT‑NL is also the first model to apply data minimization at the source. TNO implemented an innovative contextual anonymization technique that removes all personal data of non‑public individuals while preserving sentence structure, enabling effective learning while ensuring material protection of affected individuals. These techniques also retain factual information about public figures, which legitimately belongs to the public domain

The Hidden Cost of Model Diversity: Managing 20+ LLM APIs in Production
By Aman Sharma CTO at Lamatic.ai (US)

Every enterprise shipping production agents eventually hits a wall: they realize they need multiple models. GPT-4 for reasoning, Claude for compliance, Llama for cost, local models for privacy, Gemini for multimodal tasks. The problem? Managing 20+ LLM APIs isn’t engineering—it’s an operational crisis. Most teams start with one model. Then cost pressures force switching. Compliance mandates specific vendors. Latency demands fallbacks. Suddenly, you're managing: 20+ API contracts (versioning, rate limits, authentication) Cost tracking per model per task Fallback chains and compatibility matrices Infrastructure sprawl The result? Engineering teams spend more time managing model operations than building actual agent logic. In this talk, Aman Sharma explores: The operational cost of diversity: hidden burden, engineering tax, rising complexity API contract management: versioning, normalization, and automated testing Cost attribution and optimization: multi-tenant tracking, smart model selection, and minimizing waste Reliability patterns: fallback hierarchies, circuit breakers, queuing systems, and graceful degradation Vendor management: mitigating lock-in, contract negotiation, and service-level agreements (SLAs) Production case studies include: Finance: 12 models, with 35% of engineering time lost to ops Healthcare: 8 models, where a compliance nightmare was solved through abstraction Enterprise: $2M/year savings achieved via intelligent routing Aman presents actionable strategies to abstract model diversity, so engineers can focus on what matters most: building great agent experiences—not maintaining fragile infrastructure.

AI for Human Cognitive Readiness: Training people to operate under uncertainty
By Sini Rytky Solutions Lead at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland (Finland)

Across industries, organizations are asking industrial systems to perform in conditions they were never designed for. The world has changed faster than the core logic of these systems, yet expectations continue to grow that AI will make them flexible, predictive, and reliable under uncertainty. Data volumes continue to increase, but understanding does not keep pace. Tacit knowledge remains locked in people, operational data is fragmented across siloed systems, and many AI initiatives focus on optimizing isolated functions rather than preparing organizations to operate as coherent, adaptive wholes. This pattern repeats across industrial, defense, and space operations, where rare events, degraded conditions, and time-critical decisions are part of everyday reality. As systems become more autonomous and AI-enabled, success depends not only on technical performance, but on whether humans are prepared to perceive what matters, learn from experience, and act coherently under real-world pressure. Without deliberate cognitive readiness, intelligence alone does not translate into resilience, trust, or safe operations. This session positions AI within the broader concept of human cognitive readiness and traces its evolution—from static, procedure-based training to simulation-driven preparation, and toward AI-enabled, adaptive readiness systems, where preparation for even the most unexpected events takes place primarily in simulated environments rather than through costly real-world exposure. Drawing on real-world work across industrial, defense, and space environments, Sini Rytky demonstrates how AI already improves cognitive readiness in practice, for example by: Enhancing perception through multimodal data fusion and rich situational awareness Supporting learning by identifying and understanding human behavioral patterns in complex operational contexts Building on this foundation, the presentation outlines current market demands for readiness, including faster onboarding into complex roles, preparedness for rare and high-impact scenarios, and the ability to manage complex operations remotely. Finally, the session introduces key research directions being explored within a leading research institution to address emerging readiness gaps, including: AI-driven knowledge capture, enabling critical experiential expertise to be externalized and transferred Synthetic data for AI model configuration and compatibility, supporting robust performance across evolving systems and environments Distributed situational awareness, enabling shared, real-time understanding across humans, AI systems, and autonomous assets Attendees will leave with: Practical examples of how AI can contribute to cognitive readiness systems, and how readiness expectations are evolving across safety-critical domains A clear, actionable checklist for initiating cognitive readiness planning in their operations, including key questions to assess the maturity of human preparedness, knowledge gaps, and simulation-based readiness systems
