Bir Ecosystem, the first fully integrated ecosystem in the Caucasus, which combines banking services, payments, and e-commerce, presented its approach to developing corporate artificial intelligence capabilities to an international audience at Ai4 2026, one of the world's leading AI conferences.
The Ai4 2026 conference, held in Las Vegas, USA, brought together more than 12,000 participants from over 90 countries, over 1,000 speakers, and 400 exhibitors. The conference has been held since 2018 and serves as a global platform uniting business and technology leaders around practical applications of artificial intelligence in business, generative AI, AI agents, and other advanced technologies. Organizers call Ai4 2026 the largest industry event dedicated to artificial intelligence in North America.
Bir Ecosystem was represented at the conference by Chief Data and AI Officer Valeh Nabiyev and Head of AI Office Seymur Shabanly. Valeh Nabiyev spoke at Ai4 2026 as a speaker and presented Bir's corporate approach to artificial intelligence to an international audience.
In his presentation titled "Building the Enterprise AI Operating System: Turning AI into an Organizational Capability," Valeh Nabiyev noted that the main challenge for organizations today is not only creating individual AI-based solutions but also building organizational capabilities that allow for fast, secure, and scalable implementation of artificial intelligence.
In his presentation, Valeh Nabiyev emphasized that to achieve real business results from artificial intelligence, it is not enough to create individual solutions. It is necessary to build an interconnected system that unites data, technology, people, and business processes, as well as to form a unified infrastructure that allows for rapid and scalable implementation of AI-based solutions within the organization.
Representatives of Bir Ecosystem also exchanged experiences and opinions with leaders in artificial intelligence and data from different countries during the conference. The Ai4 2026 program included not only practical examples of AI application in business but also relevant topics such as AI agents, generative AI, governance, and responsible use of artificial intelligence.
Participation of Bir Ecosystem in Ai4 2026 is important both for studying global trends and practical examples of AI application and for presenting Bir's approach to corporate AI transformation to the international professional community.
