AI; When Hype Hits Reality – Real Talk

AI is the new shiny thing and everyone feels they’re running to catch up. Innovation is exploding, priorities keep shifting, and FOMO drives the conversation. But scaling AI isn’t just about the tech, it’s about building the backbone that makes adoption real and sustainable.

The real challenge isn’t moving faster, it’s moving smarter. How do we shift from ‘old school’ AI to a new era of trust, skills, and culture? Because in the end, people build trust – not AI. People build culture – not AI.

And while the storytelling around AI might be louder elsewhere, we in Europe have reasons to be confident. We have the talent, the hubs, the data centers, and the chance to shape AI on our own terms.

So today, let’s cut through the hype, face the reality, and explore what it really takes to make AI work – for business, and for people.
