Power to Business: Business-Owned AI — What It Takes to Build and Why It Matters
Everyone is talking about AI agents, but the biggest challenge isn't the agent—it's ownership.
When an AI assistant serves real customers, who controls its behaviour? Who decides what it can do? And how do developers build systems that remain safe, observable, and adaptable?
In this session, we'll explore what it takes to build and operate business-owned AI. Through the real-world example of Moi ApulAInen, an AI-powered customer assistant for Finnish mobile operator Moi, we'll discuss how business teams and developers can work together to create AI-powered services where business owns the outcomes and developers provide the guardrails.
We'll share the technical, organisational, and operational decisions required to move from prototype to production—and why ownership is often the missing link between AI capability and business value.
