BegaTalks.AI #4 - AI beyond Tech
Date & time
Thursday, October 1, 2026 · 17:30 – 20:30 (doors 17:30, program 18:00)
Description
🔵 Edition #4 of 5 | People → Technology → Sectors → Foundations
For the people putting AI to work outside the software industry.
WHY THIS TOPIC?
After going deep into the technology itself (Edition #3), we follow AI out of the software industry. The real test of AI isn't a demo - it's a city hall, a power grid, a factory floor: places with rules, physical processes, and people at the center.
Edition #4 brings three short case studies from three different sectors - energy, public administration, and a third sector brought by Victory Square Partners - followed by a synthesis panel that looks for the common thread: what stays the same, what's completely different. Real sectors, real impact.
🔵 THREE SECTORS, THREE REAL DEPLOYMENTS - Energy operations, public administration and digital city services, plus a third case study from the VSP portfolio. Not demos: systems running in production.
🔵 WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS - Data, regulation, integration with existing processes, ROI in organizations that aren't digital-native. Honest results, not slideware.
🔵 THE HARD PARTS - Where AI still falls short in regulated, human-facing sectors: trust, data quality, human-in-the-loop - and what it takes to make it stick.
