**8:00 - 8:45 PM – Session 2**
**Not Just Another Brick on the Wall: How QA Shapes Business Strategy by Lina Kulakova**
Quality Assurance is often treated as a checkpoint — a final validation step before release. But what if QA isn't just another brick in the delivery wall? What if it's part of the foundation shaping the entire business?
In this talk, we'll explore how modern QA directly influences:
\- Customer experience and retention
\- Delivery velocity and team confidence
\- Persona definition and product\-market fit
\- Accessibility and inclusive design
\- Risk management and brand reputation
QA is no longer about finding bugs. That is common knowledge by now. This session aims to expand even further the borders of impact. and show how it can become a true busineer driver.
(Session will be in English)

**TALK ABSTRACT:**
AI is all the hype these days; however, despite (or maybe because of) the excitement around it, a high percentage of AI projects fail. Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints.

In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.
