About this session

Everyone is racing to make AI faster, cheaper, and bigger. But when the model speaks, does anyone actually understand? In this session, Oddmund and Sven will unpack three gaps hiding in plain sight across the AI landscape and explain why the industry is obsessed with the first one while barely talking about the other two. They'll introduce the Comprehension Layer: the unsolved space between what AI produces and what humans actually need to understand, across languages, cultures, and high-stakes live environments. Drawing on Interprefy's experience powering real-time multilingual communication at scale — long before AI made it fashionable — this talk will challenge how the room thinks about what winning in AI actually looks like. Expect a frank conversation about infrastructure over hype, clarity over noise, and why the companies still standing in three years won't be the ones who shouted loudest. They'll be the ones who were most understood.
