Talk #2
AI & Data Strategy After NVIDIA GTC 2025: What You Need to Know
Alexander C. S. Hendorf
AI & Data Strategy and Implementation @ opotoc GmbH
Is your AI and data strategy still a patchwork of isolated tools and projects? NVIDIA's GTC 2025 highlighted a crucial shift: the future isn't just about better AI models, but about their deep convergence with simulation, Digital Twins, and synthetic data. This session cuts through the GTC noise to deliver a focused strategic perspective for tech leaders and practitioners. Discover why an end-to-end, interdisciplinary approach is no longer optional but essential for tackling complex challenges and enabling true hyperautomation. We'll explore practical insights on leveraging these converging technologies, moving beyond fragmented efforts, and fostering the collaboration needed to stop talking and start building integrated, high-impact solutions. Learn what you really need to know to shape your AI data strategy moving forward.
