KEYNOTE: A SHORTCUT TO SUPERINTELLIGENCE

THE NEW WAY OF PROTOTYPING – HOW VIBE-CODING IS TRANSFORMING DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES

WHY DO AI PROJECTS FAIL SO OFTEN?

Dr. techn. Lukas Huber

AI rarely fails because of technical issues, but rather due to shadow AI, the proof-of-concept trap, and a lack of adoption. Those who integrate governance early on and empower people - rather than just buying tools - can make the leap from pilot projects to real-world impact.
