In this episode
Kastukevich says iGaming has no place for good communication between technologists, product people and security specialists, because most discussions are about business topics (1:03).
AI will be the "elephant in the room", he says, but he wants talks on how to use it correctly "to get money from that, not just use the AI" (6:44).
Speakers from outside iGaming, such as finance, will share best practices the industry has not adopted yet (7:43).
Asked if iGaming lags on AI, he says "the only thing which is lacking is the age"; the industry has more risk appetite for new technology (9:02).
The summit has three tracks: vision, solutions and an experiments track for companies that may be "too risky", with ideas such as dark factories run by robots (11:18).
The ICE director says Hall 7 will host a digital and fintech transformation hub with a gaming technology leaders forum for CTOs, CSOs, AI transformation experts and CFOs (13:41).
