Keynote: There's no I in AI (yet)

There's no intelligence in current AI systems, but apparently we think there is, and then get surprised when it gives wrong answers.
 
Why is this, and what will happen when we get real intelligent systems?
 
This opening keynote gives an introduction to AI as we currently know it, examines how we interact with it, and envisions the consequences of real AI emerging.

The Data You Wish You Had

In an age where data-driven decision-making has become the linchpin of successful enterprises, the quest for qualitative and contextual data is ever-persistent.

However, a realm of 'Unseen Data' exists that, when harnessed correctly, can significantly amplify businesses' creative and operational prowess.

This talk delves into the revolutionary potential of AI as a conduit to access this unseen data, enabling businesses and creative teams to bootstrap products, enhance services, and make well-informed decisions.

From shedding light on the mechanisms to exploring its application across various domains, attendees will garner insights into how the integration of LLMs can lead to the cultivation of a data-rich ecosystem, propelling organizations toward a future where informed decision-making is not just a practice but a culture.

Through a blend of technical exploration and practical insights, this talk is tailored for an experienced audience eager to unravel the potential of AI in navigating the modern-day product/feature prototyping labyrinth with data.

Redefining the Basics: A First Principles Approach to Thriving with AI in Business

In a landscape rapidly transformed by large language models (LLMs), survival hinges on a return to the foundational principles of business innovation.

This talk is an urgent call to action for businesses to reimagine their strategies from the ground up, informed by the unchanging truths that underlie the AI revolution.

We’ll dissect what LLMs mean for our future.

How can we rethink and reconstruct our business models for an AI-centric world?

Join us to pivot with purpose and turn the tide of AI disruption into a wave of opportunity (hopefully).

Scaling experimentation to avoid the commodity-trap

As a retailer in a low-interest category, you’re constantly at risk of getting “stuck in the middle”.

Consumers can easily substitute your product with that of a competitor - more often than not the products are identical!

Margins are ever-eroding thanks to fierce price competition and the steadily increasing ad tax of Meta & Google. And just like that, you find yourself caught in the commodity trap.

This is a talk about building culture that’s cross-disciplinary by default, pursuing great ambitions, yet always searching for the minimum testable unit.

A talk about leveraging structured experimentation to build an intrapreneurial culture and escape the commodity trap.
