AI Summit
IBM at AI Summit London
Generative AI is transforming how work gets done. However, many enterprises are constrained from maximizing value from AI because of data complexity and a lack of guardrails that can lead to ethical, legal and regulatory violations.
Successfully using generative AI is predicated on leveraging trusted data and effective governance. To benefit, enterprises need an AI and data platform that infuses intelligence into your business and technology operations, while offering flexibility. All this enables you to start with one component or AI assistant that meet key use case and deliver value at scale. See recordings of the IBM Speaking Sessions below to learn more.
Now available—a next generation enterprise studio for AI builders to train, validate, tune and deploy AI models.
IBM Speaking Sessions
End the AI experiments. Generative AI is a change in the evolution, adoption and impact of AI. In this session, attendees learned how to create business value with watsonx, IBM's AI and data platform with generative AI assistants.
With watsonx, train foundation models with your own trusted data and apply governance and guardrails. It empowers you to use AI responsibly across business processes and technology operations, including automating customer service, generating code and streamlining key workflows in departments like HR. With watsonx, you have visibility of all your applications across any environment.
Learn how IBM enables you to multiply the impact of AI and seize new opportunities for growth.
Speaker:
- Ritika Gunnar, General Manager, Product Management for Data & AI, IBM
📍Headliners Stage
During the last year, generative AI pilots have popped up everywhere. Budgets are being redirected into AI technology, but the hurdle to move past experimentation and exploration is real—and the technology might be the easiest part. Clearing the bar requires:
- A strategy and clear view of value to be realized from concrete use cases
- Understanding of how your operating model can improve with an AI-first approach
- A structure to govern AI, establishing trust (in models, data and applications) and taking people along on the journey with positivity
In this session, IBM and transformational leaders from global businesses explained how they follow this framework and scale AI with trust, responsibility and accountability for value.
Speaker:
- Matt Candy, Global Managing Partner, Generative AI, IBM
📍AI at Scale Stage
Leveraging AI assistants empowers individuals to do work without expert knowledge across a variety of business processes and applications.
Business analytics is one of the many functions being transformed by generative AI. From the way users interact with analytics platforms, to business analytics and intelligence consumption, experiences are becoming conversational, automated and personalized.
In this session, attendees learned how business leaders optimize productivity with AI and automation at scale. Speaker Ann Leach explored how generative AI creates value for business analytics clients by advancing analytical power to the information consumer, and gives them capabilities previously only available to the business analyst.

Speaker: Georgina Wilkinson - IBM
GenerativeAI is a powerful tool, but it is not the right tool in a lot of cases. This talk will explore 7 areas where GenAI is the right tool, and discuss a rapid prototyping method to minimise the time to value.
Speaker: Pete McCullagh - Prolifics
Critical security vulnerabilities are on the rise. The current approach to mitigating vulnerabilities, where IT teams blindly chase for relevant exposure information without understanding the connections, dependencies, and gaps in your applications, is inefficient. An AI-powered approach to taking on vulnerabilities is the way to go to stay competitive. Learn how IBM Concert leverages the power of gen AI to help you easily find and patch security and vulnerability gaps in your applications. In this session, we’ll show you how IBM Concert can help your organization become:
- More efficient by automatically prioritizing vulnerabilities based on impact to an application and providing concrete suggestions about what to do.
- More effective with a natural language interface and interactive dashboards which allow teams to explore how vulnerabilities emerged over time.
- More proactive by showing the security and compliance risk of application development decisions before they make it into your codebase.
Speaker: Ekim Mauer - IBM
As enterprises speed towards embedding AI into their operations, ensuring they can govern workloads consistently across all their environments will be key for avoiding ethical, legal, and regulatory violations. But how do you deploy an automated AI governance platform that ensures compliance, manages risk, and governs your AI workloads wherever they reside? Join us in this lightning talk to explore AI governance in a hybrid cloud setting and why it is essential for deploying AI models at scale.
Speaker: Patrick Ikenna Onu - IBM
