Speakers' Quotes

Döllner Envisioning Headshot
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Döllner
HASSO PLATTNER INSTITUTE
"In a sense, programming in the future will be giving a precise specification of the problem... The ultimate goal is giving just enough specification that leads to a stable, correct, and deterministic implementation."
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Pree, CEO of AI2 & Professor at Universität Salzburg
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Pree
CEO, AI2
"We should think one step further than we see today. There is no definite answer to if there shall be an end to programming. One of the most important aspects is human beings and our inability to do exponential thinking... Another is that all exponential growth has its limits. Our universe is too limited for exponential growth to go on forever."
Bohnet Envisioning Headshot
Dr. Johannes Bohnet
CEO & FOUNDER, SEERENE
"If you do not use the potential of your organization, if you do not have transparency into it, it's negligent... More and more, it becomes common sense to create transparency into your software factory."
Dr- Henning Heitkötter of SAP at the Software Excellence Network
Dr. Henning Heitkötter
VP & Head of AI Core, SAP
"There are many AI models to consider when building an AI use case... It's becoming both more complicated and more rewarding when picking a model. The pace is quickening. It is important when building an AI use case that you are able to quickly switch between models... Switching models is becoming increasingly crucial."
