⌖ Amsterdam · TBA

Hosted by SourceHive

Explore how to build fast, secure AI systems powered by real-time data at this World Summit AI side event in Amsterdam. Taking place on Tuesday 6 October 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00 GMT+2, Intelligence in Motion brings SourceHive to Europe for the first time. The session tackles a pressing technical and organisational question: how can teams develop intelligent systems at speed without losing control of the data behind them? Affiliated with World Summit AI Amsterdam 2026, this two-hour event combines candid panel discussion, a live technical demonstration and audience-led conversation. The Amsterdam venue is still to be announced. What to expect The programme begins with a 30-minute, fast-moving panel debate examining secure, real-time data intelligence from three distinct perspectives: - The Visionary will unpack the architecture behind real-time data intelligence and explain why security should be designed into a system from day one rather than added later. - The Practitioner will address operational realities including data leakage, compliance pressure and the cost of getting AI governance wrong. - The Ecosystem Connector will connect current technical work with the direction the wider industry needs to take. Speaker profiles for the full panel are due to be announced. Following the debate, Hood Khizer, Chief Science Officer at AHOY Technology, will lead a live, on-stage demonstration showing how secure data intelligence moves from an abstract concept to a working system in real time. The final part of the session opens the floor to attendees. Rather than limiting participation to a short, formal Q&A, the organisers want the room to challenge assumptions, raise difficult questions and share what is happening inside their own projects and organisations. Who should attend? This event is designed for people already working deep within AI and data architecture as well as those beginning to navigate real-time data systems. It will be particularly relevant to developers, architects, technical leaders, AI practitioners, governance and compliance professionals, founders, creators and technologists interested in building responsible intelligent products.… Register for this event
