From Experiment to Strategy: Navigating the Opportunities and Obstacles of AI Adoption in Business en

AI is shifting from experimentation to a core business driver. This session explores how organizations can turn tools like Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft 365 into strategic assets that boost productivity, decision quality, and competitiveness.

Through real-world examples, it shows how to move beyond adoption toward measurable outcomes—optimizing processes, enabling data-driven decisions, and improving customer experience.

We’ll cover three pillars of transformation—business model, data, and agile organization—and how leadership can drive change, manage risk, and achieve ROI within 6–18 months.

A key question remains: can your business afford not to transform?

Tricks, Treats, and Transitions: How Leaders and Employees Perceive AI en

AI Digital Assistants/CoPilots offer "treats" to workers – automating repetitive tasks, extracting insights, and increasing individual productivity - while at the same time facing the "tricks" that AI performs, such as bias, hallucinations, and trust issues.
However, a key difference in perception has emerged: workers are intensely experimenting with AI, while many leaders are lagging in the strategic adoption of AI, underestimating its potential and failing to scale pilots into meaningful changes within the company.
Join us in discussing what it takes for leadership to move from cautious observers to fluent practitioners – aligning the application of AI with business goals, investing in skills, and establishing effective governance. All to enable the "transition" that will bridge this gap and fully unleash the organization's potential!

Make Every Meeting Matter: How AI Is Transforming Collaboration and Decision Making with innovations en

Meetings are one of the key ways of collaboration in organizations, but they often become a source of inefficiency, loss of focus, and overload of people. The latest innovations in Microsoft Teams enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) are changing that paradigm – not by automating for the sake of technology, but by improving how people work, collaborate, and make decisions.

In this lecture, participants will learn how AI improves the efficiency of the entire meeting lifecycle: from preparing and structuring the agenda to managing the meeting, and from monitoring outcomes to follow-up activities. In addition to Microsoft Copilot for meetings, special emphasis is placed on the meeting Facilitator – an AI-assisted "virtual assistant" that takes over operational tasks such as time moderation, content tracking, recording decisions, connecting relevant knowledge, and working together on documents.

Through practical examples, it will be shown how Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 enable people to free themselves from administrative burdens and focus on what brings the greatest value: high-quality discussion, decision-making, and collaboration. The lecture is strongly focused on "human upgrade" – where AI is a tool that improves human potential, increases productivity, and helps teams and leaders end each meeting with clear outcomes and real business value.

How and when will AI replace developers? en

The process of replacing developers' work has already begun. Still, some key questions are emerging: where are we now, how fast will this continue, and will the entire development eventually be done by AI? What does software development consist of? Which parts are more likely to be done by AI, and which parts will still be intensely dependent on humans? What levels of AI automation can we expect for which types of applications? Which skills in the development process will AI replace, and which will become even more important for humans? Is the future of development in a conversation between humans and AI that results in enterprise-grade code?
 
We will explore how good today's tools are at assisting developers in developing part or all of a software solution, what to expect in the next decade, and what future developers will look like.

Trikovi, koristi i tranzicije: kako lideri i zaposlenici percipiraju umjetnu inteligenciju (UI) en

UI asistenti/CoPilot-i pružaju koristi radnicima - automatiziraju repetitivne zadatke, izdvajaju uvide i povećavaju individualnu produktivnost - a istovremeno se suočavaju s "trikovima" koje UI izvodi, poput pristranosti, halucinacija i problema s povjerenjem.
Međutim, pojavila se ključna razlika u percepciji: zaposlenici intenzivno eksperimentiraju s umjetnom inteligencijom, dok mnogi lideri zaostaju u strateškom prihvaćanju umjetne inteligencije, podcjenjujući njezin potencijal i ne uspijevajući skalirati pilot projekte u značajne promjene unutar tvrtke.
Pridružite nam se u raspravi o tome što je potrebno da vodstvo od opreznog promatrača postane kompetentni praktičar – usklađujući primjenu umjetne inteligencije s poslovnim ciljevima, ulažući u razvoj vještina i uspostavljajući učinkovito upravljanje sve s ciljem omogućavanja tranzicije koja će premostiti taj jaz i u potpunosti osloboditi potencijal cijele organizacije!

This lecture aims to show how content can be created programmatically using the API of these web services!

Will artificial intelligence (AI) replace or assist developers? en

We live in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied: from home appliances and self-driving cars to robots that look and speak like humans. It is no longer just a matter of AI causing the loss of jobs where repetitive work prevails (e.g., on the assembly line in a factory). There are also examples of application in creative human activities - e.g., art (where AI creates a work of art). The question arises: if and when AI will replace developers? Will AI help solve the labor shortage in the IT sector? What role does AI play in software development today, and how can it help developers?
Attend this session, join the discussion on this exciting topic, and learn how AI is already involved in developing IT solutions such as GitHub Copilot!

I plan to start a discussion about this hot topic in software development by showing existing examples (including GitHub Copilot). It will be great to see how many developers are thinking that AI will replace them and how many devs are actually using some kind of AI-assisted tools to help them in their work!

Deep learning advancements en

This session explains how recent development in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes gap between human and machine smaller than ever before, by explaining and comparing traditional approach user in development of AI systems with new approach that has been used by AI system AlphaZero, developed by DeepMind. Traditionally AI systems have been tested in chess and the same has been done to demonstrate the power of AlphaZero. But, instead of playing against human, it played against the best (at the time) chess program Stockfish. While chess programs (before AlphaZero), were using powerful hardware and embedded built-in formal knowledge about the game, AlphaZero is using completely new approach, running on standard hardware and using deep learning. It learned about the game by playing a large number of games with itself, learning in the process. Session will also explain what is so revolutionary in AlphaZero approach to AI and how this new approach can be used in different areas of processing visual information, bio-medicine, autonomous driving, robotics and AI generated images/videos of humans.
