'How GenAI Disrupted Customer Support' by Des Traynor, Founder & CSO Intercom | RAISE Summit 2024
Intercom rapidly pivoted to an AI-first strategy following the 2023 launch of ChatGPT, deploying its autonomous Finn agent to resolve eight million support queries while displacing 750,000 hours of human labor. To ensure reliability in high-volume sectors like software and e-commerce, the company prioritizes proprietary data sources over public web content to minimize hallucinations and employs a rigorous model-agnostic evaluation framework. This transformation, which intentionally cannibalizes traditional human agent seats to prevent external disruption, is set to expand into multimodal voice and visual analysis with a collaborative human-AI platform launching in mid-April.

Keynote by Caspar Herzberg, AVEVA Systems CEO | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
Caspar Herzberg, Kasper Hesberg
Aveva CEO Kasper Hesberg is set to launch in June an industrial AI assistant that merges predictive analytics with Large Language Models to help engineers overcome data silos and access the insights of veterans with 12 years of experience. This solution, already validated in cases like Duke Energy where it prevents $90 million in losses per event, addresses the critical challenge of 70% unused time-series data by summarizing technical manuals and guiding remote collaboration through 3D asset visualizations. By strictly limiting its scope to verified telemetry and documentation, the system delivers high-accuracy maintenance predictions while mitigating the hallucination risks common to general-purpose AI.

'AI Deployment: Trainwreck or Trailblazer?' Marten Mickos from HackerOne | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
The event addresses the critical deployment gap causing half of enterprises to hesitate on AI adoption due to fears of security breaches, financial loss, and brand damage. Featuring insights from industry leaders like Brett Taylor and case studies from Hugging Face, Anthropic, and Snap, the presentation highlights how rigorous external red teaming and transparent disclosure programs mitigate specific risks such as prompt injections and systemic bias. By demonstrating that preparedness transforms vulnerability into a competitive advantage, the discussion advocates for unbiased validation of AI systems to prevent operational disruption and secure organizational trust.

'Production Ready RAG' by David Leconte from DataStax | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
David Leconte, a Solution Engineer at Datastack, presented a comprehensive framework for transitioning Retrieval-Augmented Generation applications from experimental prototypes to stable, enterprise-grade production environments. The proposed RAG Stack mitigates common industry risks such as library fragmentation and compliance gaps through curated, daily-validated integrations and provides AstraDB, a serverless vector database that delivers 10-millisecond latency and 74% faster retrieval speeds than dedicated competitors. By combining these core components with the newly acquired Longflow workflow engine, Datastack enables organizations to deploy compliant, high-throughput generative AI systems via single-command installation while reducing development time and operational liability.

Threads of Tomorrow: GenAI and the Reinvention of Luxury Experience | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
Massimo Moretti, Nicolas, Carla, Patrick
Moderated by Massimo Moretti, the "Threads of Tomorrow" panel featured experts Nicola, Carla, and Patrick in discussing how generative AI is redefining the luxury sector through application-layer innovation, sovereign data infrastructure, and new creative workflows. The discourse highlighted critical challenges including GPU capacity bottlenecks and the necessity of new quality auditors, while citing specific art market transformations where AI co-creates value and reshapes ownership dynamics. Looking ahead, the group predicted that AI-driven efficiency will fundamentally alter the work week to just two or three days, positioning Europe as a competitive frontier for creativity-driven growth despite global capital competition.

Mo Gawdat: A WARNING about Stress & Anxiety! This Is Causing 70% Of Heart Attacks In Young People!
Mo Gawdat identifies a convergence of five global disruptors creating a modern "perfect storm" where stress functions as a societal addiction, leading his new book *Unstressable* to argue that well-being depends on internal regulation rather than external circumstances. Gawdat proposes a reconfiguration strategy involving the "Three Ls"—limiting inputs, learning one's specific stress language, and listening to bodily signals—to replace burnout with a state of resilience. The discussion further details the economic fallacies of overwork, the personal impacts of grief on relationship dynamics, and urgent warnings regarding AI's potential to erode human connection through the commoditization of intelligence.

Startup Building: Major Shifts in Tech & Culture
This analysis identifies Operation Warp Speed as a transformative government-tech model that de-risked vaccine development and establishes a blueprint for future strategic investments, while simultaneously triggering a "slingshot" adoption of video conferencing that resolved a fifty-year cold start problem. These disruptions accelerated a collapse in institutional trust and fueled a wealth transfer from physical economy workers to remote knowledge sectors, creating severe commercial real estate risks in major cities due to policy-driven crime underreporting and retail decline. Concurrently, the event outlines a dismantling of Industrial Age work structures, arguing that rigid labor laws and outdated university models are being replaced by automation, skills-based learning, and bifurcated corporate cultures that prioritize functional silos over monolithic cohesion.

Weighing the GLP-1 Market
Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, Jonathan Gruber, Alison Nathan
Experts and economists convened to analyze the clinical efficacy of GLP-1 agonists for obesity, contrasting their maximum 22.5% weight reduction rates against the superior remission capabilities of bariatric surgery and the 20% non-response rate observed in diverse patient cohorts. The discussion highlighted systemic barriers where Medicare excludes obesity coverage while private plans vary, driving debates on pricing models and the potential $800 billion annual economic impact of widespread adoption. Ultimately, the dialogue proposed policy interventions such as government price adjudication and prize-based incentives to balance pharmaceutical innovation incentives with public affordability and workforce productivity gains.

'The Future of Software With GenAI' by Marek Kalnik, Group Partner Theodo | RAISE Summit 2024
Industry leaders and enterprise innovators are rapidly integrating generative AI tools like GitHub Copilot and autonomous agents into software production, with over one million paid licenses and near-universal developer exposure driving a shift from simple automation to system-wide architectural redesign. As AI capabilities mature to solve 13–14% of real-world tasks autonomously and achieve high correctness on coding benchmarks, organizations are evolving from "co-pilot" models toward two-tiered structures where machines handle execution while humans focus on high-level design, quality assurance, and security-sensitive asset creation. This transformation promises to redefine team roles, reduce development costs, and enable new business models centered on personalized software and legacy system maintenance.
