Innovation

Robotics is transitioning from factory floors to our everyday lives, particularly through humanoid robots. This session features a live demonstration of our Unitree G1 android, exploring how advances in AI, increasing data availability, and edge computing hardware are transforming science fiction into reality.

We begin with an overview of robotics and its market potential, then examine robot training and demonstrate how integrated hardware and software bridge the gap between simulation and real-world deployment. Finally, we reveal how Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models facilitate meaningful human-robot interaction and enable future applications.

Traditional team-building practices often rely on narrow specialization and focus heavily on technical skills. While such teams can be effective in stable environments, they often struggle in critical situations— when adaptability, task-swapping, or creative problem-solving becomes essential. This challenge is amplified by the growing presence of artificial intelligence. As repetitive tasks become automated, teams gain the opportunity to focus more on strategy and innovation. But if the team’s structure and capabilities aren’t ready for that shift, the opportunity is lost.

The demo will be led by George Tsiramua, Head of IT at Toyota Caucasus and third-time startup founder, who—together with Dr. Sergo Tsiramua—conducted in-depth research on team effectiveness. Based on their findings, they developed OptiCrew, an AI-powered platform that helps organizations build flexible, multifunctional, and adaptable teams.

In this demo, you’ll learn how to:
-To select multifunctional personnel for building resilient teams
-Identify and address skill gaps before they become bottlenecks
-Reconfigure teams in real time based on workload, pressure, or changing goals
-Leverage AI not just for automation, but to strengthen human capabilities—creativity, critical thinking, and strategic decision-making

This demo is for those looking to build teams that perform effectively not just in today’s business environment, but in the uncertain world of tomorrow.

“The Future of Web Access Is Agentic — Is Your Site Ready?” examines how our interactions with websites are changing. AI agents — not just humans — are beginning to browse, understand, and take action online. This shift opens up new opportunities but also raises a big question: Is your website prepared to work with these intelligent systems?

In this session, Tomas Rasymas presents a simple solution that connects websites to the agentic web without requiring any redesign or code changes. We’ll explore emerging protocols like NLWeb, A2A, and ACP, and show how different techniques can make websites more accessible and useful for AI agents. Whether you’re a developer, product owner, or business leader, this talk will help you understand what the agentic web means, why it matters, and how to ensure your site is ready for it.

In this compelling talk, Maria Zarotiadou explores one of the most urgent challenges in the field of artificial intelligence today: gender bias. As AI systems increasingly shape decisions in hiring, healthcare, finance, and public services, the risks of reproducing and amplifying historical inequalities continue to grow. This talk examines how gender bias enters AI systems—through data, design, and deployment—and what it means for individuals, organizations, and society.

Drawing on real-world examples, policy insights, and ethical design principles, Zarotiadou highlights both the unintended consequences of unchecked AI and the strategic opportunities for building more inclusive, transparent, and human-centered systems. The talk outlines practical approaches to bias mitigation, responsible innovation, and regulatory alignment—especially within the framework of the EU AI Act.

This talk is a call to action for developers, business leaders, and policymakers: to recognize bias not just as a technical issue but as a systemic one—requiring leadership, diversity, and accountability at every level. The future of AI, Maria argues, must be equitable by design.

As generative AI tools become more advanced, cybercriminals are now using deepfakes—fake voices, videos, and synthetic identities—to launch highly convincing fraud attacks. Imagine receiving a call from your CEO requesting an urgent wire transfer… only to find out later it wasn’t them. These scams are targeting companies of all sizes and slipping past traditional security protocols.

This demo offers a strategic response plan. Cybersecurity and fraud prevention expert Silviu Gresoi will share real-world examples of deepfake scams and the vulnerabilities they exploit. Drawing from his 20+ years of experience in risk management and enterprise security, he will outline practical steps your organization can take—combining AI-powered detection tools, rule-based compliance, and stronger internal protocols.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the risks and the tools you need to build deepfake resilience before the next fake call reaches your desk.

The year 2025 marks the rise of AI agents—intelligent, collaborative systems made up of teams of AI personas capable of solving complex problems across domains. These smart systems are equipped with an arsenal of tools and integrations, enabling them to operate autonomously and in coordination with others. But as AI agent technology accelerates, a new battlefield emerges: communication protocols.

In this session, attendees will dive into the evolving landscape of protocols designed to let AI agents talk—not just to each other, but also to external systems and services. The session explores and compares the leading contenders (MCP, A2A, ACP, etc.) in this growing ecosystem, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and ideal use cases. Whether participants are building agentic platforms or integrating them into existing infrastructure, this talk will help them navigate the protocol wars shaping the future of intelligent systems.

What happens when a sabbatical doesn’t lead to a book, but to a full music album – with artificial intelligence as co-producer? This talk demonstrates how modern AI tools enable the production of a complete album within just a few weeks – from the first lyrics to arrangement and final mastering.

The applied language models generate lyrics and adopt stylistic characteristics through targeted in-context learning using original song texts. Suno AI contributes initial melodic ideas, Splitter AI separates vocals, drums, and instruments, while Basic Pitch converts audio signals into MIDI data. Additional tools like MidJourney, Sora, and AI-based mastering engines complete the workflow. The result is a production pipeline that balances creative control with efficient automation – far beyond simple one-click results.

This talk offers a hands-on look at tools, workflows, and creative potential in modern AI-assisted music production – with concrete takeaways for developers, creatives, and tech enthusiasts alike.

Generative AI can draft copy in seconds—yet most of that copy sounds interchangeable. The missing ingredient is the one thing an algorithm can’t replicate: a lived story. In this talk, Adebola Olomo (Chief Commercial Officer, Zentrova) shows leaders and creators how to anchor prompts in personal and organizational narratives so AI becomes a brand-true storyteller, not a text machine.

She’ll share her Lens → Voice → Value framework, live-remix generic output live into an authentic narrative, and equip attendees with a “story-seed” checklist they can hand to any team on Monday morning—no matter the mission or industry.
