Robotic Automation: Potential versus Reluctance
Let’s talk about robotic-powered automation, diving into knowledge gaps and outdated perceptions making industries hesitant to embrace its full potential.
In this keynote, we’ll explore insights, opportunities, and key lessons from Adapta’s journey to become the bridge between responsible automation and adoption reluctance, as a hardware-focused Romanian startup.

Vibe Coding & the Rise of AI-Prompted Software Engineering
As AI copilots, multi-modal models, and conversational agents mature, a new paradigm emerges — one where software is no longer written line-by-line but negotiated through dialogue. “Vibe Coding” is a mindset and workflow that blends prompt engineering, iterative feedback, and high-context collaboration between humans and AI systems.
This talk explores how AI-driven development reshapes the role of engineers, from writing syntax to orchestrating systems. We’ll discuss real-world applications, current limitations, and how developers can adopt this new dynamic while staying in control. Drawing from over a decade of AI experience and my work at RO AI Labs, I’ll share insights on how to future–proof your skills and workflows in a world where “understanding the problem” becomes more important than “writing the code.”

The Path to Decentralized Data Processing
Data processing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are in dire need of democratization and decentralization. Only then will we be able to create a space where everyone can contribute to a more ethical, open, and mutually equitable future of AI development.
This talk will focus on the technical, financial, and compliance aspects behind Timeworx.io, and, together, we’ll explore our journey towards building the data processing layer for next-generation AI.

How AI Understands Romanian Laws
The next frontier of AI lies not in better generated text, images, or sound. It emerges from the internal representations models learn – semantic embeddings that encode our collective knowledge.
In this talk, we’ll explore how this principle drives the intelligent search engine behind ai-aflat, the app for all laws in Romania.
Join us for a discussion on machine learning from the inside out.
