The Open Crystal: How Can Your Company Make Better Use of AI?

Denmark’s AI strength will primarily be built by the companies we already have - the ones with existing customers, employees, systems and businesses to transform. We have all sat through enough presentations explaining what AI is. This evening is about what happens when you actually try to put it to work in an established business. Through three real cases, we will get behind the AI headlines and into the implementation: What actually works? Where does it get difficult? And what does it take to turn experiments into real business impact? No AI cheerleading. No crystal-ball predictions. Just experiences from people doing the work - followed by an open discussion where we learn from each other.

What we're really trying to do. While everyone watches who builds the next AI company, the real question is: who will be best at using AI? That's where the competitive advantage lives. In thousands of companies getting 5% smarter, faster, better. That's what we're here to learn about tonight. 17:55 – Talk 1: AI from Inside (15 min) Kronor Team, Boozt Payments. Fraud. Risk.

Drawing on her experience leading AI and analytics capabilities at Novo, she will explore some of the decisions established companies face as they move from experimenting with AI to making it part of the business. 18:30 – Break 5–10 min.
