Many hospitals want to use AI in clinical practice, but most never get there. Some struggle to even start a pilot. Others run one but never scale it into daily care. The blockers are practical: regulatory uncertainty, institutional caution, lack of clinical trust, and workflows that were not designed for AI. This symposium brings together hospital leaders who found a way through, the AI teams that

AI is either boiling the planet or about to save it. It depends on who you ask. So who's right? Both sides have numbers and logic. But they sit on different boundaries, timescales and definitions. And then there's everything the numbers don't cover: who's responsible for the energy, who decides what a data center is allowed to use, what all that land is for. We're spending the evening getting the

KI treibt die Kosten kognitiver Arbeit gegen null. Wenn die Antwort, der Inhalt, die Analyse fast nichts mehr kosten — wofür kann man dann überhaupt noch etwas verlangen? Viele heutige Geschäftsmodelle haben eine unbequeme Antwort auf diese Frage.

AI is driving the cost of cognitive work toward zero. When the answer, the content, the analysis become almost free, what's actually left to charge for? A lot of today's business models have an uncomfortable answer to that question. Whole categories were built on owning the path to information, on being the necessary middle layer, on knowing something the customer didn't — and that ground is shift

Most organizations are no longer experimenting with AI - they are trying to scale it. And this is where things start to break. Despite strong models and successful pilots, many AI initiatives fail to deliver real value.
