Klaus Werner welcomes you to the opening of DIGITAL X Focus Edition AI and gives a quick overview of the day's main topics and highlights.

AI is here to stay. And it changes everything: how we think, work, live – and do business. Deutsche Telekom accompanies and shapes this revolution, develops new business ideas, and helps others find their way, even in difficult times and global challenges.

How can companies sustainably integrate AI, successfully implement applications and scale them with real added value? Methods, frameworks, practical examples and an interactive exchange between experts and participants.

Everyone is talking about generative AI - but hardly anyone is talking about the data that drives it. Because the fact is: without clean and accessible data, AI remains pure buzzword bingo. In this masterclass, we show why data is the real bottleneck today - and how companies can resolve this bottleneck: 🔹 with a clear framework for AI-ready data 🔹 with modern architectures such as data products and RAG 🔹 and with real business impact instead of AI pilot cemeteries Discuss with us how you can set up your data in such a way that AI is more than just a nice prompt - but a real value driver for your business.

Artificial intelligence is transforming everything – from the surface to the deepest layers of value creation. With digital sovereignty, security, and smart solutions, T Business empowers companies to dive deep into the digital future. Let’s embark together on the journey-to-digital – and explore digitalization in all its depths.

Get a concise 45-minute overview of the key aspects of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) according to ISO 14067. This masterclass covers the significance of PCF, current regulatory requirements, and opportunities for greater transparency and competitiveness in the supply chain. Discover what companies and customers will expect – compact, practical, and interactive.

The development of artificial intelligence is reaching a critical turning point: security risks such as prompt injection and AI-generated counterfeits threaten trust and integrity - for example through fraud or disinformation. At the same time, geopolitical tensions are creating new challenges: Data sovereignty, cybersecurity and supply chain issues are coming into focus. Industry and politics are responding with investments in gigafactories, hybrid clouds and new control models. In our masterclass, you will learn how the Trusted AI Framework, together with sovereign cloud and AI solutions, creates the necessary framework to make AI secure, transparent and future-proof - far removed from technological dependencies

With IoT Embedded Connect, Deutsche Telekom addresses essential challenges facing OEMs of smart connected products today. Learn in this masterclass how OEMs can achieve greater flexibility in the development of business models with a bundle of radio module, integrated SIM and basic connectivity and benefit from shorter time-to-market and reduced economic risks.

Besides the obvious advantages, LLM applications carry risks when handling sensitive prompts, which in certain use cases may contain confidential data and can be unintentionally disclosed due to errors, attacks, or public interfaces. Providers usually have technical access to prompts and models, which reduces acceptance in certain domains (e.g., the public and the e-health sector). Confidential computing methods offer a solution by running the sensitive system components in encrypted environments, thereby denying operators access to the prompt contents. This in turn enables further use cases in the LLM domain that would previously have not been possible due to data protection and compliance reasons.

The digital world is spinning faster than ever - and demands more security, control and responsibility. In this masterclass, T-Systems and amberSearch show why sovereign cloud infrastructures are the key to the successful and responsible use of artificial intelligence. What does digital sovereignty mean in the age of AI? And how can the two be meaningfully combined in practice? Based on real customer projects, you will gain concrete insights into how AI can be used effectively, securely and sustainably. The conclusion: Sovereign clouds and artificial intelligence belong together - and are the path to a resilient digital future.

Immerse yourself in the world of AI technology and find out how we are revolutionizing the field of secure networking through the use of AI technologies. Our vision is to optimize the collaboration between our network technicians and users and to increase efficiency through AIOps. Let us show you how AI-powered chatbots and advanced data analytics are shaping the future of our network. Join us and learn more about our innovative use cases and the exciting development of our AI ecosystem! Our interactive session invites you to get actively involved and take part in the lively exchange.

A look "Behind the Screens" shows that smartphones are made from rare raw materials, the extraction of which has a negative impact on the environment, climate and society. Every new production step generates CO2. That's why old company cell phones deserve a second life and are too valuable for the drawer: Old but Gold! T Business promotes a circular economy and sustainable ESG strategies with take-back programs such as "Handyankauf" and "Device as a Service" as well as sustainable end devices. In this way, we conserve resources and reduce emissions.

No more empty promises! You keep hearing about 'sovereignty', but what does it really mean for you and your company? Forget buzzwords and blah-blah. Here we tackle things and build a truly sovereign solution together. And to make it really exciting, we'll get straight down to business and show you a complete M365 alternative, AI features (CoPilot) included! Are you ready for an AI future where you stay in control?

In this workshop, we work with the participants to develop a practice-oriented security awareness campaign that specifically addresses different employee groups and phases in the employee lifecycle. With the support of an experienced security awareness expert, current AI threats such as voice cloning and social engineering are examined using specific examples and suitable measures are developed. Participants contribute their experience and actively design a campaign that effectively addresses all target groups in the company.

Artificial intelligence helps companies to increase their efficiency. For example, embodied AI enables robots to interact with their physical environment and automate processes. We show how AI-based mobile robotics can enable a real robot to continuously learn and successfully navigate a dynamic environment. We will address the possibilities of AI avatars as first level support and entry point for new process automation in the company and visualize the potentials through an interactive demo of our charming AI avatar.

Generative AI can plan, analyze and write - but it does not act. This is exactly where Agentic AI comes in: a new era of artificial intelligence in which autonomous agents understand goals, take initiative and act independently in complex environments. In our masterclass at DIGITAL X, we will show why traditional automation is reaching its limits - and how our Agentic AI framework helps companies to close this gap: 🔹 through adaptive, actionable agents, 🔹 with a clear methodical approach (SPAR model, APEX framework), 🔹 and real business impact based on project insights. Let's discuss how agentic AI can make an impact in your company - and what it takes to move from reactive tools to actionable AI agents.

Live hacking - IT security can be thwarted so easily. In this session, we show live how attackers penetrate systems (including modern AI systems) - from simple phishing tricks to real vulnerabilities in web applications and IT infrastructures. You will experience first-hand how quickly small mistakes can lead to major security risks. An exciting insight into the mindset of hackers - practical, understandable and with an "aha" effect and practical customer references.
