With the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) setting new compliance standards, project managers face increasing challenges in ensuring regulatory alignment. But what if AI could simplify the process?
This session explores how AI-powered project generation and built-in compliance support in ServiceNow can help project teams navigate DORA effortlessly. Even those new to the regulations will have an AI assistant to guide them, ensuring best practices, avoiding common pitfalls, and reducing administrative burden while maintaining high-quality data for decision-making.
Join us to see how AI can turn compliance from a challenge into an opportunity

Managing the quality of AI systems: different than you think

Online, Local Group Hannover

>> This will be held in German language

In this presentation, you will learn why traditional approaches to quality assessment are no longer sufficient for generative AI - and what you as an IT project manager should pay attention to in order to achieve reliable results. In contrast to conventional IT systems, generative AI always provides an answer. As these results are often in text or voice form, they initially appear correct, but may be incorrect or inappropriate in terms of content. This makes verification complex and often remains subjective or unsystematic. The result: the system works technically, but is not usable!

You will learn why such challenges occur and how you can react to them in your projects. Andre will show you which architectural decisions have a significant influence on quality and how you can use them to improve the performance of your GenKI systems.

You will also learn how to systematically evaluate and control the quality of GenKI with clear metrics, automated labeling and synthetic test data. These approaches will help you to achieve the most important goal of an IT project manager: a system that is used and creates real added value.
