At this year’s Alpine Tech Forum, we explored the rapid advancements in AI and robotics, highlighting both opportunities and risks. While AI agents and chatbots drive efficiency, they also introduce privacy, accountability, and regulatory challenges. The fragmented international regulatory landscape only adds to these complexities, raising concerns about liability and data governance. 🔹 Michal Rachtan (CTO, Unit8) emphasized that the true goldmine in AI lies in unstructured data, a long-overlooked resource now driving breakthroughs in Generative AI. 🔹 Kevin Schawinski (CEO, Modulos AG) suggested that AI may soon be capable of learning advanced mathematics at a PhD level—by simply conversing with itself. 🔹 Courtney Bowman(Palantir Technologies) highlighted that the biggest hurdle to AI adoption remains trust, stressing the need to demonstrate the safety and reliability of these systems. With AI evolving at an unprecedented pace, businesses must navigate innovation in a landscape where regulation struggles to keep up. The future is here—are we ready? This panel was possible thanks to the support of Unit8.
