Abstract, as submitted
Everyone’s frantically baking AI into their enterprise apps like it’s the secret sauce that’ll fix everything from technical debt to the broken coffee machine. But shipping useful AI applications isn’t about picking this quarter’s hottest model - it’s about building a system that lets your teams figure out what AI is actually good for before the budget runs out.
This talk covers how to create the conditions for AI success: a platform that automates governance while accelerating development. Using examples from companies like Mercedes-Benz, learn how to build guardrails that let teams explore AI’s potential without unleashing a shadow IT apocalypse. Because in the end, the real magic isn’t in the model - it’s in creating an environment where teams can fail fast, learn faster, and ship something worth running in production.
This is the text that went into the CFP form, kept as submitted - not a later rewrite of it. Talks get retitled and reworked between submission and stage, so what was actually delivered may differ.
Notes to the CFP reviewers
Not part of the public abstract - this is what the program committee saw and the audience never does.
Thanks for taking the time to consider my talk! :)
