It was a great pleasure to participate in AI Summit Budapest 2025, the largest AI-focused conference in the region, with more than 3 500 participants and over 100 presentations. Not only the presentations, but also the discussions with colleagues afterwards were inspiring – it was good to talk through what was experienced by whom, what ideas stood out and how we can incorporate them into our own work.
One panel discussion was particularly interesting. It was pointed out that in the future, business decisions may increasingly be made according to the “4 people + 1 AI” model: creative ideas and goals will still require people, but AI will provide the data-driven background and speed of execution. The market will not be fragmented, but players will be challenged to create real business value from AI.
Several examples were given of how AI can become a real business driver:
-
Procurement agent – automatic stock replenishment and order initiation, which can also negotiate with suppliers independently.
-
Stock allocation – algorithms that optimally allocate goods between multiple sites, reducing stock shortages.
-
Self-development – VR+AI simulations modelling negotiation and interview situations with immediate feedback.
One of the key messages from the presentations was that AI alone is not enough: you need creative, purposeful people who recognise how to turn technology into a business advantage.
We are no strangers to this approach: we use an AI-first approach in our everyday work. We see AI not as a separate technology, but as part of a mindset that can make all processes more customer-centric and efficient.
