Conference: "The Radical Changes of AI in Organizations and Technology Companies"

We are about to enter a new era where AI is redefining computing and the entire business environment. This conference will focus on AI LLM Agents, which expand human-machine interaction and democratize access to advanced solutions. The Code Proximity Revolution removes barriers between departments, driving collaboration and autonomy. The "Shift Left" development encourages creativity and speed in prototype creation, which is crucial for professional futures and internships. Conversational interfaces and flatter organizations transform user experience and management, offering enormous potential for professional growth.

Based on real examples and conceptual frameworks, we will examine how generative AI is evolving from a specialized tool to a fundamental technology, "just like electricity, the internet, or the wheel."

Date: Thursday, 20th of March, 3:00 PM

Location: Sala d'Actes Manuel Martí Recober FIB (Building B6)

Title: The Radical Changes of AI in Organizations and Technology Companies: Insights for AI and Computer Science Students

Speaker: Daniel Niezgoda, CTO of PayRetailers

Key Topics to Be Covered:

• Anatomy of LLM AI Agents: Breakdown of AI system components including the LLM core, system prompts, knowledge bases, context windows, reasoning engines, and tool integration capabilities.
• Code Proximity Revolution: How AI is collapsing traditional hierarchies by enabling direct interaction between business stakeholders and technological systems, reducing dependency on technical intermediaries.
• "To The Left" Development Paradigm: The shift from traditional linear development processes to an approach that empowers subject matter experts to create rapid prototypes with AI assistance.
• AI-Enabled Experience Transformation: Comparison between traditional interfaces requiring 32+ clicks versus conversational AI interfaces that are 10x more efficient, with practical examples of how this transforms user experience.
• Organizational Impact: Examination of the flattened hierarchies, new competency requirements, democratized technology access, and evolving governance needs in AI-enabled organizations.
• Rapid AI Solution Delivery Framework: Five-stage process (Discovery, Rapid Prototyping, Validation, Engineering, Deployment) that accelerates business value through cross-functional collaboration.
• AI in Software Development Lifecycle: Practical applications of AI across requirements, development, testing, and deployment phases, including automated code generation, validation, and testing.

This lecture will benefit you in understanding how AI is not merely augmenting existing systems but fundamentally transforming business operations, product development, and organizational structures.
