Open Stage: Responsible AI & Sustainability
Tuesday, June 30, 2026
A day full of inspiration focused on responsible AI, sustainable systems, and modern software architecture.
Leadership competencies in the age of AI
What skills do leaders need when working with artificial intelligence?
This session explores why modern leadership must combine technical understanding with strong communication skills, ethical judgment, and the ability to manage change – and how this integrated skill set enables future‑ready leadership in the age of AI.
(Philipp Gropp)
Soft skills in the age of AI – Which communication models still hold up?
How AI is fundamentally changing communication and collaboration
AI is fundamentally reshaping the way people communicate and collaborate. This talk examines classical communication models in the context of AI and highlights which of them remain valid today – and which need to be rethought to meet the demands of the AI era.
(Laura Rheinwald)
In pursuit of Green DevOps
How can automation become more sustainable?
This talk presents concrete approaches for resource‑efficient and sustainable DevOps processes, demonstrated through an open‑source technology stack. It shows how automation can be designed not only for efficiency and scalability, but also with sustainability in mind.
(Julian Gommlich)
Cost-Aware AI Architecture: Building High-Performance Systems Within Budget Constraints
How can AI systems remain both powerful and economically viable?
AI systems must not only deliver high performance, but also be economically sustainable. This talk explores architectural levers for designing AI systems that are efficient, scalable, and cost-aware—without compromising on performance or reliability.
(Dimitri Blatner)
Agentic AI: The New IT Security Challenge
How autonomous AI systems introduce new security risks
Autonomous, agentic AI systems bring a new class of security risks to modern IT landscapes. This talk highlights the key challenges associated with agentic AI and presents architectural approaches to designing secure and resilient agent‑based systems.
(Noah Neukam)

Responsible AI Operationalization
Turning Responsible AI into an engineering challenge
Responsible AI is increasingly becoming a concrete engineering task rather than a purely governance concern. This keynote explores how regulatory requirements such as the EU AI Act can be translated into practical technical workflows — from MLOps processes to runtime guardrails. The focus is on the shift from abstract governance frameworks to systematic, end‑to‑end implementation in the age of AI.
