GCEF 2024 is behind us! Mind-blowing, Inspiring, Exciting and... Sexy

What do AI and SEX have in common!? Both are exciting and a bit frightening at the same time – one of many memorable remarks and take aways from the talk between our moderator Petr Šimůnek and AI expert Filip Drimalka at the yesterday's German Czech Economic Forum on Digitalization & AI.

We are so grateful for the “sexy”, thought-provoking and mind-blowing GCEF, huge thanks to all brilliant speakers. We are sure that many of the guest woke up in the morning and still had AI on their minds together with To-Do List for the next steps.

The opening speeches by Dr. Anna Christmann from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Lukáš Vlček, the new Minister of Industry and Trade, confirmed the strong partnership between Germany and the Czech Republic and their willingness to deepen cooperation in the field of digitalization and AI.

We kicked off with Berlin futurologist Jan Berger, who brought insights on how emerging technologies reshape industries worldwide. While Europe is playing catch-up, his message is clear: data sovereignty in software and cloud solutions is the way to get in the game again!

Filip Drimalka made clear that AI is a major work-cultural shift. Start small, simple prompts, standardize, and make AI a part of everyday tasks. Take your time, you need it, says Filip. With the right AI tools, talented people can accomplish more than ever.

Thanks to all our #PartnerForDigitalization for their exciting discussions on “Business Models and AI” and “AI and the Human Factor” Juraj Svorada, Besart Shala, Matthias Schulze, David Kalab, Pavel Boháč, Peter Podprocky and Lubos Lukasik.

Thanks to everybody who joined to make this event unforgettable!
