Applying AI Events in Prague

AI is moving faster than regulation, faster than education, and faster than most businesses can adapt. It’s redefining the future of software, reshaping entire industries, and forcing every tech professional to ask the same question: What happens next?

Following the success of our first Prague Tech Talk, we’re back with another event designed to challenge ideas, spark meaningful debate, and bring Prague’s tech community together for an evening of thought-provoking discussion and meaningful connections.

Join us for Tech Talk: The AI Debate Nobody Can Ignore, where we’ll debate the biggest opportunities, risks, and unanswered questions surrounding AI. We’ll begin with a 30-minute live debate featuring industry experts as they go head-to-head on some of AI’s most pressing issues, from whether AI will strengthen Big Tech monopolies or drive open innovation, to how AI is reshaping education, critical thinking, and decision-making, and whether it will create more economic inequality than opportunity in the workplace.

Expect bold opinions, challenging arguments, and honest discussion from both sides of the debate. Following the debate, we’ll move into our signature live mentoring session, giving you the opportunity to ask career questions, gain practical advice, and learn directly from experienced professionals working in technology and AI.

Whether you’re excited about AI’s potential, concerned about its risks, or somewhere in between, this event offers a chance to hear diverse perspectives, challenge your thinking, and join the conversation shaping the future.

CSRD reporting s AI: praktická práce s daty, zdroji a novými pravidly ESRS

Praktické školení zaměřené na to, jak využít AI při přípravě CSRD reportingu bezpečně, efektivně a auditovatelně. Účastníci si ukážou, jak AI využít při analýze ESRS požadavků, double materiality, přípravě textů a politik, vyhodnocování dat, identifikaci chyb a mezer i kontrole konzistence reportu.

Some facilitation tasks simply can’t be done by AI: Creating psychological safety, channeling participant’s energy in the final hour of the workshop, or sharing your life story over a cup of coffee.
But - what about:

• Processing the research interviews?
• Drafting alternative versions of workshop agenda?
• Simulating outcomes of workshop discussions?

Guess what - AI is just perfect for those three - and many more.
