Agenda, June 12, Gothenburg:
09.30 – 10.00: Registration and coffee
10:00-10:15: Opening: Jan Bosch
10:15-11:00: Engineering AI Systems: Keynote presentation by Ingo Weber, Professor at Technical University of Munich
This keynote talk is based on a recent book: “Engineering AI Systems: Architecture and Devops Essentials”, Addison-Wesley 2025. The main argument of this book is that the behavior and quality of software systems that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) stems from the AI part, the traditional software part, and the interactions between both. Achieving high-quality AI systems requires managing all of these aspects well, throughout the whole life cycle from architecture design through to operation & analysis.
In this talk, I will give an overview of the life cycle for AI systems, as well as selected insights.
