Sii Poland\u2019s team went to Munich for the Enterprise AI Summit to check their state of knowledge and get the new updates from AI field. The conference confirmed the direction in which the team had been heading in, but it also opened their eyes to things they hadn\u2019t considered before. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No more pilots in a vacuum<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>For years, many companies ran AI projects on a trial basis \u2013 one here, another there, no coherent plan behind them. At the Enterprise AI Summit in Munich, it was clear that this phase is ending. Companies have started thinking bigger: instead of yet another pilot, they\u2019re building platforms that let multiple solutions run side by side.<\/p>\n\n<p>What\u2019s interesting is that AI technology itself is becoming less of a differentiator. The models are available to everyone. What actually decides who wins is data and the ability to connect AI with existing systems. Companies that have their data in order and their integrations working smoothly are pulling ahead. Everyone else is still figuring it out.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-nsw-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s a bit like what happened with the cloud a few years back \u2013 at first everyone experimented on their own, and then it turned out you\u2019re better off with one coherent approach. It\u2019s exactly the same with AI. In Munich, I saw companies that already get this and are building entire environments, not just individual tools.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Marcin Mosio\u0142ek, Head of AI at Sii Poland <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817501374-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141541\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817501374-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817501374-1-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817501374-1-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817501374-1.jpeg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your own AI, your own rules <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The second topic that clearly gained momentum is sovereign AI platforms. In short, it\u2019s about making sure a company, or a country isn\u2019t entirely dependent on a single technology provider. This matters especially in regulated industries \u2013 finance, energy, defense \u2013 where control over data and models isn\u2019t a luxury, it\u2019s a necessity.<\/p>\n\n<p>The conversations went beyond regulation. People asked practical questions:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-checked-gradient\"><li>How do you adapt models to a local language and context?<\/li>\n\n<li>What happens to your operations when a vendor changes their terms?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p>The topic is still fresh, but everything suggests we\u2019ll be hearing a lot more about it in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817509429-1024x768.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141544\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817509429-1024x768.gif 1024w, https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817509429-400x300.gif 400w, https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817509429-768x576.gif 768w, https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817509429-1536x1152.gif 1536w, https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1773817509429-600x450.gif 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI agents \u2013 but with a plan <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>AI agents were the number one topic in Munich \u2013 no surprise there. What was surprising, though, was the maturity of the conversation. Nobody\u2019s asking whether AI agents make sense anymore. The question is: how do you deploy them without making a mess?<\/p>\n\n<p>And here the ecosystem theme comes back again. Companies that take this seriously aren\u2019t dropping a single agent into a single department. They\u2019re thinking about the whole picture: who will use it, where the data comes from, how it connects to what\u2019s already in place. A year ago, these conversations were practically non-existent.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-nsw-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cWhat struck me most was that conversations with clients in Munich didn\u2019t start with \u2018does AI pay off\u2019 \u2013 they started with \u2018how do we do this right\u2019.

That\u2019s where, between sessions, the conversations happened that left the most to think about.<\/p>\n\n<p>There was a lot of discussion about the future of work in an AI world \u2013 not driven by fear, but by a genuine search for a new division of roles between people and machines. Another hot topic was how do you measure the real gains from AI in software development? How much does it actually speed up teams? Which metrics are meaningful and which are just noise? Sii Poland team deals with these questions daily.<\/p>\n\n<p>But what surprised our team the most was the most unexpected topics. Someone talked about using AI to optimize battery production for electric vehicles. Someone else \u2013 about building train schedules, where the system has to juggle thousands of variables at once. That\u2019s exactly the kind of conversations that broaden perspective and show what\u2019s possible in the world of AI.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nsw-p-1-font-size\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-nswc-gradient-color\"><strong><em>See you in Munich next year! <\/em><\/strong><\/mark><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":136,"featured_media":141472,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[5742],"class_list":["post-141478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1920x740_cover-www-worker_monachium.jpg","category_names":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141478"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/136"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141478"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":141568,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141478\/revisions\/141568"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
