_ What does Europe's economy really talk about when it talks about Kl?

Not about chatbots — but about scalable systems, robust infrastructures, explainable models, and production-ready applications.

Brains on Silicon 2025 brings together the topics that truly move decision-makers in tech, SMEs, research, and public sector today:
How autonomous AI agents take over entire workflows. How regulation becomes a strategy for scaling. How hardware and software jointly unlock new efficiency gains. And: How work environments transform when humans don’t compete with AI systems — but share responsibility with them.
