Aleph Alpha – The Opposite of Good are Good Intentions

Location: Bootcamp 1 | Time: 11:15 am - 12:30 pm

In a quick bootcamp, we’ll teach decision makers how AI can really do what they want them to do, why the largest models often fail in specialized environments and help them strategize about how to advance their AI usage. All based on real-world experience.

The bootcamp explores how businesses and the public sector can regain digital sovereignty through specialized large language models and reduce their dependence on foreign hyperscalers. It highlights current security risks and compliance challenges, emphasizing the importance of transparency and full control over model behavior.

Because when it comes to AI adoption, the 'good intentions' of a generic rollout rarely unlock value. We’ll show how to execute a truly good, sovereign AI strategy – one that avoids costly compliance traps and delivers measurable business value.

Who has the Right to Win when AI Restacks the Knowledge Economy?

Location: Bootcamp 2 | Time: 12:30 pm - 13:45 pm

As AI reshapes how knowledge is created, distributed, and applied, the foundations of competitive advantage are shifting. This session invites participants to explore how value moves when expertise becomes augmented, workflows become AI-mediated, and decision-making increasingly relies on systems rather than individuals.

Through a futures-driven approach, we will challenge assumptions about ownership, capability, and control, and explore what it means to remain relevant in a landscape where “who knows” is replaced by “who orchestrates”. The session will combine provocations, signals, and hands-on reflection to help leaders identify where they may be optimising what is no longer future-fit, and where new opportunities for positioning and value creation emerge.
